Artist Boris Eldagsen and writer Robert Cook are both looking down the barrel of forty. Cook is fascinated by other members of his exact generation. In his words: 'They are alternative selves, part of my body. Mid-life is hard life, the life as lived not the life not lived, the other path, the no stepping back.' Cook and Boris did not meet.
Robert Cook is the Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Photography and Design, at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
Editor's note: Boris Eldagsen was born in 1970.
