First published in 1996 to enormous acclaim, Richard Billingham's 'Ray's a laugh' is one of the most significant photobooks of the turn of the twentieth century. The work serves as a cornerstone for the Young British Artists generation, featuring starkly intimate images of Billingham's chaotic parental home in Birmingham, England. The photographs center on his alcoholic father Ray, his chain-smoking mother Liz, and his brother Jason, capturing a life marked by poverty and alcoholism.
