The high-gloss, airbrushed daydreams of the nineties didn’t stand a chance once the "pink-paper" revolution hit the stands. Launched in Amsterdam in 2001, BUTT was the radical antidote to the sanitized gay media machine, opting for snapshot grit and honest skin over gym-bunny perfection.
This chunky 2006 anthology from Taschen functioned as the ultimate time capsule, binding the first five years of the "fantastic voyage" into a single, hand-held archive. Featuring the raw lenses of Wolfgang Tillmans and Bruce LaBruce, the publication documented a generation that traded the department store aesthetic for a candid, often humorous look at real life. It wasn't just a magazine; it was a cultural shift that proved the most transgressive thing you could be in the new century was yourself.
