Salt and Flickers - Hardcover

"Junker's strong, iconic style makes for a striking visual accompaniment to Goldklang's words. Luminous reflections on bodies and souls in motion that pair lyrical writing with vibrant images." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Salt and Flickers is an art-forward coffee table book, but more like a sacred object, a devotional artifact to motion, madness, and meaning because life is, too, when you let it be.

Born on the cracked streets of Los Angeles and stitched together through the long strides and longings from running in and around the world, this large-format work - featuring a foreword by Travis Barker - fuses original illustrations, essays, meditations, icon portraits, and open-ended prose on what it means to move through this world with purpose and pain, a little grit and a little grace.

Created by writer and Silver Lake Track Club founder Howie Goldklang, and artist-provocateur Eric Junker, Salt and Flickers is a living portrait of a culture in motion. This book is for the seekers: the ones who run, create, move, and meditate to understand themselves. The ones who believe running can be art, and art can be salvation. It is for the ones who lost something and decided to go find it through the forced meditation of movement. With Eric's visceral imagery and Howie's raw reflections, Salt and Flickers doesn't just tell a story--it cracks you open and reminds you: the path forward is also the path inward.

Whether you're an artist, an athlete, or dreamer -- this is your invitation to let go and begin again and again.
