Having begun his career as a writer for The New Yorker and The Village Voice in the mid \u201890s, he has gone on to add Pulitzer Prize-winning theatre critic, author, professor and art curator to his brimming portfolio. He is also a keen social documentarian \u2014 as evidenced by his excellent Instagram account, @hilton.als. The feed serves as a visual diary of friendly encounters, chance meetings and moments of note in the life of the 58-year-old New Yorker. Subjects range from Als\u2019 family and friends \u2014 like director <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kenneth Lonergan, writer Tavi Gevinson (an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@hilton.als <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regular) and gallerists Victoria and Warren Miro \u2014 to the food he eats and the films and TV shows he watches, all captured with candour in Polaroid format.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Als\u2019 posts are catalogued with his distinct curatorial eye. Each photograph holds a message that becomes part of a wider, critical narrative; whether challenging toxic masculinity or discussing racial stereotyping in the film industry, they perform a duty beyond their aesthetic value. The captions note the date and location the image was taken, as well as names of those present within it, resulting in a highly accessible archive of memories. \u201cR<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ecalling, for me, is a great way of living, so not to forget,\u201d the writer told Interview Magazine in 2013. Indeed, he often reposts an image from days, weeks or months before \u2014 with no fear of boring his audience \u2014 \u00a0just for the sake of reliving a moment.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BgQufPcl1X_\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike the majority of his digital counterparts, who edit their feeds with a view to projecting a certain image of themselves and their lives, Als\u2019 lives his truth through blurry snapshots, awkward angles and a palpable lust for life. No notable styling or contrivances are at play; his instant snapshots offer his view of the world as he operates within it.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next week, Als will join Charlie Porter at Tate Modern to discuss his latest book \u201cWhite Girls\u201d, which has finally arrived in Europe following its 2013 release in the US. In celebration of the occasion, and the uniquely spirited and personal way in which Als\u2019 uses Instagram, we present some of our favourite images from his feed for your #FF inspiration.<\/span><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BgKFVF7lbxs\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bf7L71-AcSt\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BgWUS8nlKzQ\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bdu9NF5gueR\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BdDcBQ4gjGJ\/?taken-by=hilton.als<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York writer and theatre critic&#8217;s feed is a diaristic celebration of everyday life.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139,3980],"tags":[10332,10333,3068,10334,154,10335,409,10336,10337],"class_list":["post-62954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","category-tech","tag-charlie-porter","tag-hilton-als","tag-instagram","tag-new-yorker","tag-photography","tag-pulitzer-prize","tag-tate","tag-village-voice","tag-white-girls"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hilton Als&#039; Instagram is a Masterclass in Living Life Unfiltered Hilton Als&#039; Instagram is a Masterclass in Living Life Unfiltered<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The New York writer and theatre critic&#039;s Instagram feed is a diaristic celebration of everyday life.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/hilton-als-instagram\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hilton Als&#039; Instagram is a Masterclass in Living Life Unfiltered Hilton Als&#039; Instagram is a Masterclass in Living Life Unfiltered\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The New York writer and theatre critic&#039;s Instagram feed is a diaristic celebration of everyday life.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/hilton-als-instagram\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-16T17:24:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
