Het leven van Leso en Whippet en Bever

'Dat de Britse Chris Killip fotograaf zou worden, lag niet bepaald voor de hand. Hij laat een diep ontroerend oeuvre na door zijn bezielde werkwijze en zijn empathie met mensen in de marge. Een eerbetoon in Fotomuseum Den Haag.'

> Since its publication in 1988, Chris Killip’s In Flagrante has been hailed as a masterpiece of photojournalism – a book that not only influenced many of Killip’s contemporaries but also came to be defined, wrongly, says the photographer, as a savage criticism of Margaret Thatcher’s years as U.K.’s Prime Minister.

> Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
