Not just an ambitious restoration of a fascinating unseen archive,
but a book that takes on the gargantuan task of shifting the
collective memory around key moments in British youth culture
history, with a mesmerizing force of honesty and humanity. By the
man who's previous books Skins (1994), and Skins & Punks
(2008), have been hailed as modern classics, Damiani is pleased to
announce the latest Gavin Watson monograph, titled Oh the Fun We
Had! Appropriating the Madness lyrics as an anthem of its times,
this intimate selection of photography disrupts the notion of
skinheads and council estate residents as problematic figures in an
almost endearing manner while still preserving the subversive
character of the cult of youth. At an undisputed time of little
optimism, Oh the Fun We Had! is a very important fly-on-the-wall
testimonial and reminder that no matter how difficult life is; so
it shall also be Fun... At least when captured from the right
angle.
