Charles Peterson’s Nirvana expands beyond the Seattle photographer's iconic images of the band seen over the last thirty years and includes previously unpublished frames. Over a five-year photo edit, Peterson looked at each one of thousands of images, considering what drew him to Nirvana in the first place—their music. The resulting selection of photographs and their carefully constructed sequence mash up venues and years, suffering and the sublime, to arrive at a visual experience that one cannot help but also feel and hear in these beautifully printed photographs. With an introduction by Krist Novoselic.
