Patriots
is an exploration of national, social and individual identity through
observation of the dynamics and iconography of football supporters.
Images of individuals and massed crowds illustrate the assumption
and performance of shared identities, which reflect and respond
to the fluidity of modern-day influences of (multi) cultural, national
and international society. The work is powerful and evocative with
a lot of attention given to crowd psychology and subconcious influence.
The exhibited work is in the form of large scale photographs, short
film work and video installations. These images ask questions about
how individuals’ and society’s own identities are shared
with notions of patriotism and national identity.
The first exhibitions and publications of Patriots is from work
made at Euro 96, French World Cup, English and Scottish Premiership,
and Euro 2000. |
