"California Club" is a photobook by American photographer Ken Marcus. Marcus, who worked for publications such as "Playboy" and "Penthouse," was at the forefront of commercial erotic photography in America during the 1970s and 80s, while also consistently turning his camera to peripheral cultures such as S&M and fetishism. In this book, set in the S&M community based in California, he captures the intersection of fetish cultures in Japan and the United States through the figures of Japanese bondage artist Takashi Nagaike and American performer Aile Levin. By witnessing the intersection of staged images and real bodies, this book quietly reveals the distance and relationship between the representation of desire and the reality of the community.
