This book is a time machine....
We’re thrilled to present this collection of photographs by Ruth Bayer,
documenting Coil’s first live performances as a band between 2000 and
2002.
Ruth was granted unprecedented access to three live London performances –
at the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and the Barbican –
and was present both onstage and during behind-the-scenes preparations.
Ruth’s images capture both the method, and the madness, of Coil’s
now-legendary live performances, and provide a unique window into this critical,
final phase of Coil’s existence.
