Covering Antoine d’Agata’s work for the last 5 years, the book combines pictures and texts in a disturbing testimony, showing the commitment of a photographer documenting drug-generated fictions. Until he loses control. In December 2007, Antoine d’Agata arrives in Phnom Penh and falls in love with Ka, a Vietnamese prostitute a dealer also. In January 2008, they begin to share a small and dirty flat downtown. Here starts the oblivion. The addiction to methamphetamines takes over the photographic work and the frontiers between fiction and reality start to melt. This is where ICE comes from. The horror that permeates the pages is not so much the journey to the end of the night of a photographer as it is the violent filth and hypocrisy of a system that grinds the flesh of those who were refused speech. New book by Antoine d’Agata. Diary style format (all text in French), with some of his most powerful and graphic images to date.

Born in Marseilles, Antoine d’Agata left France in 1983 and remained overseas for the next ten years. Finding himself in New York in 1990, he pursued an interest in photography by taking courses at the International Center of Photography, where his teachers included Larry Clark and Nan Goldin.

During his time in New York , in 1991-92, d’Agata worked as an intern in the editorial department of Magnum, but despite his experiences and training in the US, after his return to France in 1993 he took a four-year break from photography. His first books of photographs, De Mala Muerte and Mala Noche, were published in 1998, and the following year Galerie Vu began distributing his work. In 2001 he published Hometown, and won the Niépce Prize for young photographers. He continued to publish regularly: Vortex and Insomnia appeared in 2003, accompanying his exhibition 1001 Nuits, which opened in Paris in September; Stigma was published in 2004, and Manifeste in 2005.

In 2004 d’Agata joined Magnum Photos and in the same year, shot his first short film, Le Ventre du Monde (The World’s Belly); this experiment led to his long feature film Aka Ana, shot in 2006 in Tokyo.

Since 2005 Antoine d’Agata has had no settled place of residence but has worked around the world.
