Gladiators
Gladiators, the second powerHouse Books monograph by photographer Eric Payson, is a gritty, graphic look at the high-powered 2001 NBA playoffs, as seen from the perspective of an at-home television viewer, shot off a wide-screen television. These pictures are about more than mere basketball--they explore our obsession with entertainment and voyeurism, expose our lust for the controlled violence and stylized pageantry of spectator sports, investigate the innate themes of racial politics and male bonding, and examine the electronic medium that transmits it all. Payson, a child of the American media, turned his living room TV screen into a virtual box seat at the Roman Colosseum to create Gladiators, a compelling examination of our riveted fixation with professional sports.
