It’s back! The (Re)Edition of SPIRALLED by visual artist Seana Gavin. The book is an unravel back in time to the nineties, when Seana was an underage devotee of the underground rave scene. In 1994, the UK government introduced the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act that clamped down on illegal raves and other forms of ‘anti-social’ behaviour. Sound systems such as Spiral Tribe quit Britain for Europe. Seana went with them. She lived this travelling life, kept a diary, took the pictures and, for near on two decades, kept it under wraps. Until now. Now, in this age of sharing everything... something rarely seen.
'Much of the material in this book was emotionally buried, and stored away in boxes, for 15 years. In the summer of 2019 I dug out the dusty negatives for the first time and scrolled through my diaries; each brought back floods of memories and mixed emotions. It felt like it was the right moment to share my experience of that time, when I was immersed in a deeply underground scene that not everyone had access to in the same way' - Seana Gavin
