This book contains Wessel’s edit of these pictures and is a record of American leisure at this time: of surf, sand and inexhaustible pleasure-seekers. Yet Wessel equally explores the contradictions of Waikiki – concrete hotels invading pristine beaches, culture encroaching on nature. Despite all the fun in the sun, Wessel’s subjects are often distanced and dissatisfied, suggesting an underlying unease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henry Wessel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214937133438,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/WAIKIKI-Henry-Wessel.jpg?v=1791971201","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/waikiki","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
