内容简介

一本关于COSPLAY的书，通过七十多个COSPLAYER在日常地点的超现实照片，将其提升为一种艺术形式。

作为个性和多样性的有力表达，Cosplay是一种全球现象，让任何人都能成为一天的英雄。

在2017年参加了一次COSPLAY大会后，摄影师瑟斯坦·雷丁被COSPLAY这个主题所吸引，开始了一个为期三年的摄影项目。通过在不起眼的地方展示七十名cosplay者，《Kids of Cosplay》强调了创造力如何在最平凡的现实中茁壮成长。蜘蛛侠被厨房里打开的冰箱照亮，三个爱丽丝在荒凉的仙境的公交车站等待，一个抵抗军飞行员在郊区住宅区的碎石车道上装死。本书以Cosplay者自己的评论为补充，加上瑟斯坦个人日记中的幕后花絮，"赞美了存在于这个迷人的--而且你越看越惊讶的--光荣、慷慨的盛会的平行宇宙中的独特社区精神"（Vogue）。

时尚大腕Katie Grand的前言；作家和表演者Tom Rasmussen的文章，他讨论了cosplay的社会和文化背景；以及时尚作家Sara McAlpine对Redding的启发性采访，使本书更加完整。有时，你只需划开现实的表面，就能发现隐藏在下面的幻想。

The first book on cosplay that elevates it to an art form through surreal photographs of more than seventy cosplayers set in everyday locations.

A powerful expression of individuality and diversity, cosplay is a global phenomenon that allows anyone to become a hero for a day.

After attending a cosplay convention in 2017, photographer Thurstan Redding became captivated by cosplay as a subject matter and embarked on a three-year photographic project to portray cosplay in a way it had never been seen before. Brought to life through the presentation of seventy cosplayers in unassuming locations, Kids of Cosplay highlights how creativity can thrive in the most mundane realities: Spider-Man is illuminated by the open fridge in a kitchen, three Alices wait at a bus stop in a desolate Wonderland, a Resistance Pilot plays dead on the gravel driveway of a suburban housing complex. Supplemented by commentary from the cosplayers themselves, together with behind-the-scenespages from Thurstan’s personal diary, Kids of Cosplay “celebrates the unique community spirit that exists within this charming―and, the more you look, surprisingly moving―parallel universe of glorious, generous pageantry” (Vogue).

A foreword by fashion powerhouse Katie Grand; an essay by writer and performer Tom Rasmussen, who discusses the social and cultural context of cosplay; and an illuminating interview with Redding by noted fashion writer Sara McAlpine complete Kids of Cosplay. Sometimes, you only have to scratch the surface of our reality to reveal the fantasy that lies beneath.
