Danny Treacy Them
In this series of work, British born photographer Danny Treacy uses abandoned clothing to construct eerie suits, which he then wears in these life-sized portraits to become Them. Dressing up in the suits for the final portraits, Treacy appears faceless and enveloped, both threatening and vulnerable. Looming out of the black background the figures could be urban warriors or mythical beasts. The effect of these photographs is haunting and uncertain. The processes in this work add new layers and meanings to the idea of the self-portrait. Danny Treacy (b. 1975) graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2002 and was awarded The Photographers' Gallery Graduate Award the same year. In 2003 he received a Jerwood Photography Award. Earlier this year Treacy spent three months as artist-in-residence at the Irish Museum...
