Positions

Published by MACK in August 2026, Positions is the essential monograph on K8 Hardy's landmark Position Series (2007–2012). Presenting all fifty photographs from the cult series alongside previously unseen work, the book catalogues Hardy's use of herself, her sister, and mannequins — styled in eclectic clothes, wigs, and makeup — to explore identity as performance, in tension with ordinary domestic and urban spaces. In the darkroom, Hardy superimposed bows, glasses, bras, and spectral body outlines over the portraits: analogue interventions that expose the photograph as deliberate construction rather than fixed truth. An essential document of DIY fashion, art, and queer subcultures in early 2000s New York. Swiss-bound paperback with PVC dustjacket, 128 pages, 22.4 × 33.5 cm.
