Andreas Troeger is a New York-based photographer, filmmaker, and author. His work moves between raw street shots and bold, boundary-pushing films and documentaries.

This photo book is an authentic look featuring beautiful raw portraits of artists keeping the music alive—real faces real noise shot between 2019 and 2024 in Tompkins Square Park. Punk isn’t just rebellion—it’s identity. It’s memory. It’s survival.

From New York’s relentless chaos to Phnom Penh’s shadows and the Caribbean’s depths, this raw and transformative journey, peeling back the layers of a life lived on the edge, where beauty takes shape through a renegade’s blade—sharp, deliberate, and unapologetically avant-garde, carving simplicity out of chaos.
