ALEX STODDARD

INSEX is the debut book by photographer Alex Stoddard, in which he explores the parallels between metamorphosis in the natural world and human coming-of-age. Through staged, highly stylized images, Stoddard invites viewers into a colorfully dark world of budding sexuality and crawling insects. 

The previously unreleased series of 70 new images paints a surreal picture of adolescence in a glorious frenzy of buzzing hormones and sprouting wings. It was created over a span of 5 years in locations around the world. Each scene features a youthful subject—often Stoddard himself—in a state of change or paired with a many-legged counterpart. 

INSEX marks the artist’s first cohesive collection of work. It will be accompanied by a solo exhibition at Fahey/Klein Gallery in June 2022.

Available in Standard Edition and Limited Collector's Edition.

The Collector's Edition is limited to 150 copies and comes signed by the artist, numbered, and accompanied by a special 8 x 10 inch archival pigment print. There is an option of two images for the print, each limited to 75 signed editions.

Hardcover. 128 pages. 9.5 x 12 inches.

Published by Kerber Verlag and printed in Germany.
