Rasé de près brings together a collection of analog photographs initiated in 2007 and devoted to followers of skinhead culture in France. The series portrays men and women, often young, who are driven by a culture inherited from the past and reinvented in the present, animated by their passion for the music, aesthetics, and history of the movement, far removed from any political appropriation. Oscillating between fine art and documentary photography, Alexandra Czmil’s work captures the authenticity of these skinheads and skingirls, without artifice or theatricality.
