Dear Shaded Viewers and Diane,

New York City underworld club scene, with its dangerous, tempting appeal and wild hedonistic inhabitants hasn't vanished with the collapse of its first generations: it fiercely clung to sweaty walls and dug in its heels, somehow darker now in its careless awareness, consciously dancing towards its doom. Jeremy Kost is there too, inspired and fascinated by the brave imprudence of its characters, the industrious construction of mutating identities, their hidden composure and the fragile balance of their beauty. His models are focused on themselves and willingly ignore the outside world, living a dream so strongly depicted in their minds that it almost takes shape in the suburbs of New York sensible nights. And their imaginative world is a kingdom dipped in lust and glittering powder, ruled by mysterious queens intimidating and desirable at the same time. The romantic medium of Jeremy's Polaroid, with its dreamy, slightly blurred aesthetic, allows the fantasy to survive this cautious, practiced attempt at documenting it, and brings to the welcoming walls of Galerie Nuke exclusive, extraordinary mirages of private, secret narratives.
