TIME looks back, through the work of three photographers—Alex Levac, Steve Johnston and Ray Stevenson—to the early days of Punk, by reproducing their gritty images in the photocopied aesthetic of the era. 

Ray Stevenson documented some of the most iconic punks of the day. This image of Soo Catwoman at the St. James Hotel, London, was used for an infamous Sex Pistols poster promoting “Anarchy in the UK.”

Happy birthday, Barbra Streisand.

“Barbra Streisand has an amazing sense of what is right for her career. One of the secrets of her success is to demand her own way and she is almost always right in her choices and taste.”

Photograph by Birgitta Lund, The Garden:

The Garden is a contemporary photographic tale that uses Tivoli Gardens, an old amusement park in the middle of Copenhagen Denmark as an allegory. Here people of all different nationalities and ethnicities meet in a world of fantasy. An imaginary Orient with fake palaces and minarets is the backdrop of the place. It’s a surreal world, yet it mirrors the dreams and fears of life outside the entrance.

“When I started the project I lived very close to Tivoli and often came there at night. I started to see Tivoli and the people visiting the place as an allegory. There was to me an unnerving, surreal similarity between the images of war & conflict flickering on my screen at home, and Tivoli’s imaginary Orient, flashing light, and the seduced gaze of the visitors”, says Birgitta Lund.

A monograph titled The Garden (2013) was published by Space Poetry (Denmark). The book will be distributed in the U.S. by bookdummypress. Included in the book is a conversation between the photographer and American journalist and documentary filmmaker Brian Palmer.
