About the book
In the fall of 2010, Jona Frank began to make portraits at an amateur boxing club just outside of Liverpool in a suburb called Ellesmere Port. All the boys tried to act tough for the camera and Frank was reminded of a line from the Arcade Fire song Rococo, 'they seem wild but they are so tame.' In these images boys appear shirtless and sweaty, their hands covered with big, puffy, colourful gloves. What is demonstrated is that masculinity and vulnerability are not opposites.
