Exit Pleasure is a collection of American photographer Victor Cobo's work. Photographer Larry Fink discovered Cobo's work on social media and was deeply drawn to it, contributing text to the book. Fink is known for his keen insight into society, class, and the human body, and this work also demonstrates a strong resonance with the expression of the younger generation. Cobo's photographs, through motifs of desire, body, clothing, and ritual, create a subterranean, theatrical world. While maintaining a voyeuristic distance, they are not merely stimulating images; they are permeated with a gaze drawn to pain, impulse, and ritual. As Fink explains, the core of this work lies in "ritual" rather than "art" itself, and it was compiled as an attempt to explore the boundaries where pleasure and pain intersect. Published in a limited first edition of 500 copies, including previously unpublished photographs, this book is born from an encounter that connects the expression of the younger generation with the history of photography.
