Overview

The texts, written in the solitude of his old flat, accompany the images that Josy Meier and Stefan Jung have captured from this life. The isolation of the fixer, the writing junkie, the gay former hustler becomes palpable, comprehensible. In conversations, Philip opens up, talks about his longings, his longing for love, talks about his relationship with heroin, with Genet and with hustling.
