Published in 1999 by the Japanese fashion label Hysteric Glamour, this photobook presents Terry Richardson’s raw, fragmented visual language at the height of his late-1990s aesthetic. Conceived as a modular sequence, the book assembles partial images cropped bodies, isolated gestures, intimate details that can be visually “reconstructed” like pieces of a puzzle.
Rather than offering conventional fashion photography, the publication embraces dislocation and immediacy. Richardson’s signature flash-lit directness, saturated contrast, and confrontational proximity collapse the distance between subject and viewer. The result is both editorial and diaristic, oscillating between staged provocation and spontaneous documentation.
As a collaboration with Hysteric Glamour, the book captures a moment when Japanese street-inflected fashion intersected with late-90s transgressive image culture. The sequencing and graphic approach reinforce a tactile, almost zine like sensibility, aligning with the brand’s subcultural energy.
Now increasingly scarce, this 1999 edition stands as a period artifact of fashion, youth culture, and provocative image-making at the turn of the millennium.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
