IDEA Steven Klein Private Collection Book
STEVEN KLEIN - PRIVATE COLLECTION
Photographed and compiled by Steven Klein, PRIVATE COLLECTION is a limited-edition box set comprising four distinct volumes—Cut Throats, Dildos, Death Kit and Photo Booth. This four-part anthology investigates the performance of identity, staged violence, erotic abstraction, and aesthetics of control. Through Klein’s bold, cinematic lens, the work explores sexuality, voyeurism, surveillance, and desire, offering glimpses into hidden worlds: anonymous violence, ambiguous objects, fictional crimes, and early self-portraiture. These are not stories with conclusions, but fragments—obsessions and wounds—that together form a kind of intimate archive. A body of work that resists interpretation and demands to be looked at, again and again.
“PRIVATE COLLECTION is a record of images that were never meant to be seen—private, perverse, sometimes violent. Each book is its own fiction, its own confession. I wanted the work to feel uncovered rather than created—like finding traces of a private world left behind. These aren’t stories with conclusions. They’re fragments, obsessions, wounds. Together, they form a kind of intimate archive— one that resists explanation and demands looking.” - Steven Klein
