This body of work witnesses Holler's personal story as an artist in her 20s, shooting little-known bands (at the time) who later defined a decade in music history - capturing live gigs, portraits, and the remnants and landscapes of a scene that was the formative stage for groups such as Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes, Interpol, Macklemore, Modest Mouse, The Gossip and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, along with Beck, Foo Fighters- Dave Grohl, Moby, Pearl Jam, The Posies, and R.E.M.

"I lived it: the dark days, the rain, the dampness in your bones. I supported local venues, lived with a band, drank coffee, shot heroin, got pregnant, and had an abortion. This collection of images is a piece of my life while trying to make it, stay alive, and survive as a working artist, just like all these musicians."

Holler was a working photographer with the personality to walk into small venues and document the music scene easily.

“I didn’t know I was in the middle of something new. Not only was the Seattle sound changing but bands from New York to California came through the clubs with an experimental and progressive energy. The kids had rebelled, and a new sound was evolving."

This is the first exhibit of Holler's documentary work in the UK.
