A collection of works by London-based artist Seana Gavin.

This is the third edition of a book that takes us back to the 1990s, when the author was an underage follower of the underground rave scene. In 1994, the UK government introduced the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which cracked down on illegal raves and other "anti-social" behaviour. The pioneering techno sound system band Spiral Tribe left the UK, and the author followed them. The author travelled, wrote diaries, took photographs and kept them hidden for almost two decades.

This is a personal, visual history of the trucks and caravans of the "Fuck the System" sound system movement that crisscrossed Europe, throwing free festivals, raves, and large-scale peaceful parties in open fields and abandoned industrial buildings. It is a book about alternative lifestyles, a book of outdoor landscapes, and a photo collection documenting a great, but largely lost, freedom that in 2023 seems like freedom from cell phones, social media, and "Zoom" calls, and freedom of movement. It is a book that expands time to experience and learn from travel, meeting people, and dancing.

"I feel blessed to have been part of a time when I felt a true sense of pure freedom and community that I would never experience again. We were not tied down to anything. We traveled lightly. We had the freedom to wander between boundaries. We shared possessions and lived on bare savings. Spiralled is a celebration of all that while also taking you on a winding journey through a decade of my life." - Sheena Gavin
