Taylor Wessing Prize
Grr, this makes me want to be a photographer! Grrrrr! Most, not all, made an impression on me. Seb and I went around slowly, commenting on each before and after having read the placards.
The ones that stick in my mind....
- The naked man sitting on the bed with Britney Spears posters covering the walls.
- The woman travelling on the outside of the train.
- The woman who just got out of the outside pool in Hackney, standing in the snow in her brightly coloured swimsuit.
- The man sitting outside of the rented house with his cat.
- The two innocent looking girls who are actually criminals caught for organising rape and for theft.
- The ginger girl on horseback having just hunted deer.
Just Above = STEVE BARRIT
This year he submitted an image which was part of his final MA degree project. The project, a series of contemporary retellings of ancient Greek myths, saw Steve having to gain and lose weight, let his hair grow and even not wash for a week, as he was the central character in the series of pictures he produced.His chosen image was “The Solitude of Pygmalion,” based on the myth of the sculptor who fell in love with his sculpture. It shows Steve sitting naked on a bed in an untidy room, with walls covered in posters and magazine articles on Britney Spears.
