'them' by danny treacy



danny treacy: them
july 18 – september 14, 2008
the photographer’s gallery, london

british photographer danny treacy is currently showing his ongoing series of
life size portraits ‘them’. thes photographs depicts treacy dressed in outfits
made from discarded clothing and other props agaist black backgrounds.
the strange outfits obscure treacy’s face creating a sinister and eerie air to
the pictures. treacy graduated from london’s royal college of art in 2002
when the photographers' gallery awarded him with their graduate award.

they are us and they are them. they are the work of danny treacy. they are
the figments of his imagination and desire. they are made from recovered
clothes, collected from those lonely places - the woods, the wasteland,
the car-parks. they are re-stitched and re-fashioned: re-modelled into junk
monsters. they are nightmares of the catwalk, prowling around the outskirts
of style's dumb extravagance.
