The Beautiful Flower Is The World, out May 21 by Anthology Editions, is a pro-skater-cum-photographer’s 288 pages of bootleg, irony and a type of “tragicomic” (as Jesse Pearson describes in the book’s foreword) beauty unique to skate culture. Even the title is ripped off of a child’s t-shirt. This is Jerry Hsu’ssecond print release, photographed between skating and running his clothing brand Sci-fi Fantasy.
