Ariel Semmel presents photographs from the 1980s, taken at Penguin and Liquid, two iconic nightclubs in Tel Aviv that nurtured the punk and alternative scenes. Semmel grew up with a pervasive feeling of loneliness. This made him an antisocial child – by age twelve he was a juvenile delinquent, and by sixteen he had dropped out of school. Being adopted, he did not feel at home anywhere. But then he discovered the Penguin, a place with unfamiliar music and uninhibited people. This book is the first comprehensive testament of this scene, focusing specifically on Semmel’s photography and exploring the lives and aesthetics of this underground scene from an insider’s perspective.
