Descripción: Review"With a gang of nimble friends, skater and photographer Tino Razo documents the illegal underground skate scene around California's empty swimming pools" - The Guardian“Party in the Back is a portrait of a distinctly West Coast vibescape ― there’s a dusky Pacific feel to these images of skaters hopping chain-link gates, of keep-out signs and watchful dogs, of the sensual curve of empty pools. There are skaters, faces frozen in profound focus or pure joy, defying gravity, riding the sides, rising above the edges. Razo captures the thrill of making a place yours for a time and the melancholy of letting it go." - Boston Globe"Physical and existential risk is on view here. The photographs are raw and compelling." - Jamie BrisickIn Party In The Back, celebrated skateboarder Tino Razo has documented ― and shredded ― abandoned backyard swimming pools throughout Southern California. The resulting body of work, showcased here for the first time in Tino’s book, elevates itself beyond a bunch of thrill-seekers navigating the suburban landscape, juxtaposing renegade sessions by world class skateboarders with dramatic architectural photographs of a lost American dream. Party In The Back is a lyrical photo-eulogy for this disappearing pool culture, bathed in the golden Southern Californian light. Retail Deluxe includes book, slipcase, fold-out poster, and signed photo print.About the AuthorTino has participated in group shows that have taken him to Japan and Europe. He currently lives in Los Angeles, where he skates every day and hangs out with his dog, Chunk.Julien Stranger is a professional skateboarder from San Francisco.
