Good Goddamn tells a nominally simple story. Shot over a period of a few days in February 2017, in Leon County, Texas, Good Goddamn documents,
in only twenty-seven photographs, the last few days of freedom of
Schutmaat’s friend Kris before he went into prison. As this is a book of
hints and half-lights, the spaces between the pictures being as
important, so to speak, as the pictures themselves, we are not informed
of the crime that led to Kris’s incarceration, nor the duration of the
sentence. But the fact he was not in custody possibly suggests that
the
misdemeanour was not serious, although the psychological weight of
the
book perhaps points to the opposite.
