HONOR BY HONEST, HE FELL DOWN UPON US
Adam Green, the Minor Love years
A collection of photographs by Guy Eppel
Morrisson Hotel Gallery 116 Prince Street, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10012
In life there are normally only a sprinkling of subjects who stop you in your tracks. To make you think, this person is one of a kind & spending time with them and photographing them to form a narrative is a treat. No, that’s too much of an undersell, it’s an honor. Adam Green is one of those artists. He’s not just a musician. He is a special individual that when in his presence you become included in his artistic endeavors to full level immersion. Without even meaning it every time I point my camera at him he emanates that coolness that just comes naturally to some and can’t be taught.

After becoming close friends I was invited to join him in experiencing his life for a portion of time, to photograph all aspects of his goings ons. Full nitty gritty. The phrase “access all areas” says it best. During this time period we set out to create an album cover for the Minor Love record & to document the subsequent tours. The first of them begun in September 2009 with Adam supporting our good friends in The Cribs.

Now it’s 10 years later and what with Adams latest record just being released(Engine of Paradise) and him coming back to music it feels like an appropriate time to relive this era. When reminiscing about that decade and then turning back around into the present we jump to Adam Green - Filmmaker, musician, artist, graphic comic novelist, husband and a father.

This collection spans July 2009 to February 2010. Two tours. Two countries. Two mates. This is the result. Thanks to Adam for the honor and for falling down upon us.

Guy Eppel is a London-born photographer based in New York, who began his career shooting some of the best & brightest U.K bands of the early oughts for the illustrious New Musical Express.

After many years covering live shows from the grottiest and dingiest pub venues to the lofty arenas and festival stages, Eppel moved to the States and began focusing on feature photography and portraits, capturing definitive recent images of 70’s New York greats including David Johansen, Alan Vega and the Beastie Boys.
He currently resides in Brooklyn and shoots for publications MOJO, Q and The Guardian.

A co-founder of The Moldy Peaches and author of ten solo-albums, his songs have been performed by artists as diverse as The Libertines, Carla Bruni, Kelly Willis, Dean & Britta, and Will Oldham. Green’s paintings and sculptures have been the subject of exhibitions in America, Asia and Europe, including a 2016 show at the Fondation Beyeler Museum in Basel, Switzerland.
He wrote and directed the feature film The Wrong Ferarri (2010), the first feature film shot entirely on an iPhone, and Adam Green's Aladdin (2016) which Buzzfeed.com described as “the trippiest movie ever made."
Green’s newest book War and Paradise is a graphic novel that combines his lyrical and visual vocabulary. The satirical war epic is about the clash of humans with machines, the meeting of spirituality with singularity, and the bidirectional relationship between life and the afterlife.
