YOUKILIS,SAM. Campany,David. a.o. — Somewhere 2017-2023.

[London], Loose Joints, 2023. [500] pp. Col. plts. Stiff softcover.Sam Youkilis has been building a continuous archive of photographic works through his phone for the last six years. Working instinctively, Youkilis's short, immersive videos gather universal themes of human experience, using the casual language of the cameraphone to evoke something profound, anthropological, comprehensive and yet incomplete. Youkilis's work springs from an attitude, a way of experiencing the world, that contains depth beyond the offhand ease in which his images freely circulate. In Youkilis's first publication, the depth of this engagement with human patterns of behaviour is archived and scattered across a diverse range of themes, divided into chapters that playfully tease the tensions between categorisation and chance that inform his observational works.
