I read this after Down the Drain, which didn't have any pictures, but this makes up for it. I'd still love to see more though, her life seems so interesting.

supplemental reading for Down the Drain and provides intense imagery to the horrific things Julia described in that book.
she organized this so beautifully.
truly turning pain into art.

I’m actually so ashamed that I only found about Julia Fox through her relationship with Kanye West. What a disservice I was to Julia’s artistic legacy 🥲🥲

A great supplement to Down the Drain, Julia has always been that girl.

found on the web archive. Julia’s second photobook documents her time in Louisiana in amateur, uncensored photos that evoke the desperation, heat, chaos, and antipathy of the south. helps round out the experiences detailed in Down the Drain. have yet to find a full version of heartburn/nausea.

Marking as read as I found this online as supplemental reading to Down the Drain…beautiful reminder that pain can be reclaimed as art. I also liked putting faces to names from Julia’s book.

julia fox’s memoir DOWN THE DRAIN describes her life in a straightforward way; if you want to see the physical impact of her hard days, i recommend this photo collection. cw: it does have photos of heroin injection and includes nudity.

soooooo cool! very interesting after reading down the drain and knowing where she was in life making this. i hope she makes more arty books!!

Absolutely beautiful and artistic. Viewed right after reading the corresponding chapter in Down the Drain contextualising the photos with a rich history making it a moving viewing experience. The images are distinctly drug epidemic/working class mid western America and there’s something very poetic about these people in their sexual liberty and contrasting vulnerability. These people are hurt but they are also free.

I’m down a Salem rabbit hole right now and the way in which Julia Fox captures the softness and fragility of John Holland brings out an empathy that almost makes you want to look away from the emotionally intimate photographs. The writings, and photographs of course, felt as though I was seeing something not supposed to be seen and the vulnerability of all parties encapsulates the tragedy that can happen when entering a cryptically doomed relationship. Fox also conveys the melancholic and bittersweet beauty of the south via her personal exploration into the local infrastructure and people she had encountered and befriended. The images are shocking, but they are supposed to be. They represent the pain and conversely vibrant community that exists in the rural south.
Part of me wishes for another physical release so I could own the book, but it feels more fitting that it remains elusive and is accessible to only those who seek it out through internet archives.

Viewed after reading the corresponding chapter in Down the Drain, the book lacks pictures, and this book helped fill the visual void in that era of the author's life. The balls it takes to be this open, vulnerable, and painstakingly naked with the world. Wish i could purchase a physical version of this!

To be able to view such a personal and raw picture essay of someone's life experience is a huge honour. Julia put out this intimate piece out in the world as real art and a genuine and true reflection of her life. She is so strong and her story inspires me to continue making art and meaning of my life. Julia is a rarity in this world. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word.

July 22, 2024Read this as supplementary read to Down the Drain (which I’m still listening to).
I kept wishing I had visuals for some of what she was describing so this really brings to life that time period in her life in addition to now knowing how she felt.

Just read this from a photo thread off of Reddit (curse the 500 dollar eBay sales of this book) but this is a beautiful picture into Julia’s pain and i feel like i was there with her. The notes between her and John were so breathtaking

tw: nudity, nsfw18+, vulgar, drug use. Photobook. fascinating life. cool photography. some poems. would be nice to include dates, titles? but i guess art doesn't need an explanation, pure interpretation.

Someone else said this is a companion piece for “Down the Drain� & it really is

I read this while reading Down the Drain. Stunning to place images with what was going on during this time in her life. To be so vulnerable with the world in this way is inspiring and terrifying.
