About
In this remarkable compilation of photographs, Susan A. Barnett views her subjects through a single article of dress, the T-shirt.
By excluding faces from her portraits, Barnett allows individuals to project their identity solely through the slogans on their backs and to soundlessly express passionate messages on sexuality, race, spirituality, consumerism, violence, pleasure, history, narcissism and nihilism.
This equally entertaining and culturally insightful display provides a window in to the world we live in and the way we reflect that world through our clothes.
Curated and organized in partnership with Fashion & Textile Museum, London.
Part of The T-Shirt: Cult | Culture | Subversion exhibition.
