About the book
Beginning with Bobcats and following Gladiators, Eric Payson returns with this photographic exploration of the media and our obsession with sports as entertainment, voyeurism and violence. In this electrifying new work, college football's darker undertones rise to the surface with raw beauty in these images taken directly from the TV screen. In these images the game dissolves as the ghost in the machine of American media is captured by Payson's camera. Ghostplay reveals the suspicion and intrigue lurking between the stadium seats and hovering just within our consciousness.
