Hundreds of spectators and a bevy of prospective Timothées turned up, only to be upstaged by the surprise appearance of the real Timothée Chalamet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the NYPD shut down the event and issued a summons and fine to photographer Jonathan Hollingsworth for setting up a shoot without a permit, he turned to his Polaroid camera as backup, producing fleeting, anonymous, and dreamlike portraits of the Timothées who got to be stars for a day in the galaxy of Timothée Chalamet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe competition was more than just a well-attended curiosity in the park, but a definitive moment that captured the zeitgeist, treated as a major media event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCall Me Timothée\u003c\/em\u003e includes a Q\u0026amp;A with organizer Anthony Po and a rich selection of images documenting the event and capturing the many Timothées of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If the fanaticism of Beatlemania was agented by lust, and contemporary fandom by some combination of irony and whimsy, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eCall Me Timothée\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is in limbo between analog and internet. Where the dreamily low resolution of each portrait evokes a bygone golden-age of heartthrobs, the mimeticism of each attendee's Timmy drag sobers the nostalgic impulse. This is the anachronistic clash between subject and medium that Hollingsworth emphasizes by repetition. Each portrait, much like each portrait's sitter, is a doppëlganger of the last; just as Hollingsworth oscillates between digital and instant film formats, so too must readers negotiate the prevailing lenses with which they approach these Timothées--whimsy, irony, eros.\" -- Nick Daoust, \u003ci\u003eThe Brooklyn Rail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Hollingsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blurring Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963814170","brand":"Blurring Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45361571856521,"sku":"9781963814170","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_ed0b4025-feaf-4206-bcac-5afc1b21d47e.jpg?v=1773170653","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/call-me-timothzse-the-timothzse-chalamet-look-alike-competition-9781963814170","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
