« Suspended in time », the title of this exhibition and publication, is a nod to a classic hip hop track by Brooklyn duo Group Home. For the cover of their album « Living Proof » (1995), the duo used a series of photos captured by Danny Hastings, using Polaroid 665 prints dating from the same time as the film used in the works presented here. As fate would have it, the song « Suspended In Time » was playing when Jules met the members of Bankaï Fam, who were surprised a young Frenchie could still be listening to this underground N.Y rap album in the mid-2000s.

This book is a humble attempt at capturing Brooklyn-style nostalgia on print, and immortalizing the remains of an era which has captivated the hearts and souls of hip-hop fans throughtout the world, and will forever be looked upon as classic and genre-defining. [Thibault de Longueville]
