Pretty Hurts (Pretty Hurts) is a photographic essay, in book form, by the London-based photographer Rosie Marks. The commission of the book follows on from the limited edition photo books published by Hysteric Glamour in the early 1990’s, key cultural tools for Hysteric Glamour and Kiko Kostadinov. The book details a mosaic of eleven vignettes which flow into each other guiding us through an exploration of contemporary notions of beauty and glamour. Oddities and curiosities take centre stage, as Marks allows her subjects to freely exist in their individually constructed–or reconstructed–worlds. The limited edition monograph is co-published by Hysteric Glamour and Kiko Kostadinov and printed in Italy.
