CHAMPASSAK, Tiane Doan na. The Father of Pop Dance.

(France): Self-published, 2012.  First edition.  Softcover.  21.5cm by 17.4cm.  [64]-pages.  Facsimile of a found photo album featuring the author’s father dancing in a Los Angeles photo studio in 1967. Donning vibrant, patterned outfits, the elder Champassak performs with exuberance and flair, captured in a series of dynamic poses and double exposures that evoke the energy of the era. The photographs, marked by age with white specks and blemishes from the original album’s wear, add a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to the work. The sequence of images, when viewed in rapid succession, suggests a stop-motion animation, bringing the dance to life on the page.  A very good copy in, spiral bound, uncoated paper wrappers.  Published in an edition of 500 copies.
