Patpong

Patpong Nick Nostitz cover

Nick Nostitz (Photographer)

Not so much "Around the World in 80 Lays" more a jaw-dropping insight into a round-the-clock business culture where anything is possible and where all major credit cards are accepted. Purporting to be more than just a voyeur's wet dream, this is a portrait of an extraordinary way of life, a study of people and places handled with sensitivity that aims to add to the sexploitation debate. There may be a recherche allure to the hookers turning tricks in go-go bars and the weird twilight world of the transexuals, but they are just bit-part players in a greater drama - a shifting world of illusion and reality, captured by the camera.
