Friends and collaborators, musician Daniel Avery and photographer Keffer present Techno Is Boring, a book that collects a decade of work chronicling club culture in visceral form. Intimate black-and-white portrayals transfer the energy, joy and humour of life thriving in the smallest hours, whether in vast festival tents, perspiring discotheques or animated backstage spaces. Across over 80 photos taken at legendary European venues including DC10, Robert Johnson, Rex Club and The Warehouse Project, a curious and impulsive lens is discreetly drawn to ravers in the crowd, strange sights on the periphery of the dance, as well as the pleasure and absurdities of touring life. Shooting far beyond the DJ booth, Techno Is Boring melts down the barrier between performer and crowd, portraying an authentic continuum of community as ecstasy. The wide-ranging collection of work is accompanied by short written essays and notes from Avery and fellow DJ, writer and collaborator John Loveless.
