Nick Waplington- We Dance in Mysteries: The Isaac Mizrahi Photographs: 1989-1995

The clubs that Waplington documents in his photographs include The Sound Factory, Save The Robots, Area, Jackie 60 and The Limelight. These clubs were spaces where time was suspended, boundaries were porous and evolving, and music was everything. Now long- gone and almost mythical emblems to future generations of clubbers, these institutions were places of worship where people made pilgrimages to dance, sweat and experiment.

Hamiltons is delighted to be showing this sparkling and vivacious selection of photographs following the artist’s highly acclaimed, Living Room- named TimeOut Magazine’s show of 2024, at the gallery. Waplington’s own unique style grants us access to a golden moment where the worlds of fashion, art and music offered limitless expression and unadulterated freedom. In these images, the seam that separates night and day holds a crackling electricity and invites us to experience the burning intensity of a now-vanished world.
