Fernet-Branca Bacchanal with Judy Nylon — London

Michael Joseph
Postcard, image from 1970s
Size 154 × 154 mm

A banquet pushed to excess, staged like a living painting and fuelled by appetite, performance, and provocation. Bodies press together across a table heavy with food and drink, where ceremony dissolves into spectacle and indulgence becomes communal theatre.

Echoing classical feasts and countercultural parties in equal measure, the photograph captures a moment where restraint is abandoned and celebration tips deliberately into chaos — playful, decadent, and unapologetically alive.
