Ewen Spencer | Capturing the Essence of a Party with 'While You Were Sleeping'

by Sam Franzini

After viewing the photos of Ewen Spencer’s new photography book, While You Were Sleeping, the itch to go out to a club and dance will be inescapable. The British photographer’s new book captures London’s club scene in the late 90s, capturing the parties and discos of that era with true vulnerability. Emotions are on display in their truest form; exuberance, lust, freedom, and even the combination of some, much like the masterful duality of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own.” In 150 glossy pages, Spencer’s documentation of North to South London, Acid House and Nu Metal will leave you reminiscing for a time simultaneously unlived-in yet familiar.

While You Were Sleeping will be available on May 24th.
