During the late 1980s and early 1990s, an international underground cultural network emerged across cities such as New York, London, Los Angeles and Rome, taking shape through galleries, clubs, apartments and informal gathering spaces. Today I Shall Judge Nothing That Occurs revisits this period through an extensive archive of 35 mm Ektachrome photographs accompanied by journals, memories and written contributions from artists, thinkers and cultural figures connected to those scenes.

The images capture fleeting encounters, friendships, performances and moments of intimacy set against major cultural and political transformations, including the rise of multicultural discourse, the AIDS crisis and the accelerating forces of globalization. At the time, Harris was experimenting across photography, collage, installation and performance, while compulsively documenting the people and communities surrounding him.

Friends, collaborators, lovers and influential cultural figures appear throughout the work, forming a portrait of overlapping artistic and intellectual circles engaged in conversations around identity, representation, politics and contemporary art. The photographs and writings together construct both a personal archive and a broader cultural history, revealing how communities, ideas and artistic practices developed through collective exchange and lived experience.

The publication also traces the formation of Harris’s own artistic language, offering insight into the evolution of his visual sensibility and the environments that shaped it.
