In Party In The Back, celebrated skateboarder Tino Razo has documented – and shredded – abandoned backyard swimming pools throughout Southern California. The resulting body of work, showcased here for the first time in Razo's book, elevates itself beyond a bunch of thrill-seekers navigating the suburban landscape, juxtaposing renegade sessions by world class skateboarders with dramatic architectural photographs of a lost American dream. Party In The Back is a lyrical photo-eulogy for this disappearing pool culture, bathed in the golden Southern Californian light.
