What Fun We Had","description":"\u003cb\u003eNot just an ambitious restoration of a fascinating unseen archive, but a book that  takes on the gargantuan task of shifting the collective memory around key moments in British youth culture history, with a mesmerizing force of honesty and humanity.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the man who's previous books \u003ci\u003eSkins\u003c\/i\u003e  (1994), and \u003ci\u003eSkins \u0026amp; Punks\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), have been  hailed as modern classics, Damiani is pleased to announce the latest Gavin Watson  monograph, titled \u003ci\u003eOh the Fun We Had!\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppropriating the Madness lyrics as an anthem  of its times, this intimate selection of photography disrupts the notion of skinheads  and council estate residents as problematic figures in an almost endearing manner  while still preserving the subversive character of the cult of youth. At an undisputed  time of little optimism, \u003ci\u003eOh the Fun We Had!\u003c\/i\u003e is a very important fly-on-the-wall  testimonial and reminder that  no matter how difficult life is; so it shall also be Fun...  At least when captured from the right angle.","brand":"Damiani Editore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665641377828,"sku":"9788862086349","price":63.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788862086349.jpg?v=1773273019","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/gavin-watson-oh-what-fun-we-had","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
