56 - Antoine d’Agata, *Too Much But Not Enough* (signed copy no. 300). Steidl, 2023. This avant-garde fashion publication by Yang Li and Antoine d’Agata consists of 23 LP album covers and booklets, featuring visceral portraits of 23 women they encountered throughout China. Since launching his eponymous label in 2012, Li has drawn on underground and subcultural references to create a darkly romantic aesthetic. For his very first campaign, he reached out to photographer Antoine d’Agata, and together they eschewed professional models, instead taking to the streets where they approached over 300 women from vastly different walks of life to capture their stories in images and words. “There were some truly compelling moments,” Li recalls, “and the tears and anguish you see in the images are totally real.” The photographs pulsate with a confrontational physicality; meanwhile, the intimate texts—transcripts of the subjects’ own voices—touch on themes of self-knowledge and beauty, love and disillusionment, personal freedom and social constraint.

The volumes are housed in a slipcase that has been distressed by hand with tape—a final expression of the project’s individualistic, countercultural spirit. SIGNED
