Not Going Home // Mischa Haller (2025)
'The party’s over. The club lights on. You heard about an afters. The sun’s just coming up and the light is a distraction. The main event is over, what next? Because you’re… NOT GOING HOME'
With a foreword by journalist Kate Spicer, this book documents the summer of 1998 as photographer Mischa Haller travelled across the UK to chronicle clubbers and partygoers out on the streets in the small hours of the morning — capturing what it felt like to be young, up all night, in that slightly woozy, surreal state between the club and the morning.
“I was interested in the time between the nightclub closing and people going home — those one or two hours when the rest of the world is asleep, but clubbers are carrying on. These moments hang in the memory: eating, smoking, chatting, making a fire on the beach or meeting someone new.” — Mischa Haller
