ED TEMPLETON – HAIRDOS OF DEFIANCE

Posted on 2018-04-16

This new collection of photos comes from twenty years of unmediated chance encounters with individuals sporting Mohawks, beginning from Templeton’s hyper-localized backyard of Huntington Beach and throughout the U.S. and Europe. Templeton’s method of photography is a result of blending his dedication with a down-to-earth approach to his subjects, akin to collecting city space, body, and identity in the context of real estate of presence.

A traditional photo show in an inventive installation, Hairdos of Defiance sets a scene. Its resemblance to a bedroom, complete with wall wood paneling and nontraditional hanging, positions the exhibited work in the context of its natural habitat – studios, homes – to form a deeply confessional self-portrait of the objects within.

The exhibition is accompanied by a hardcover book features 62 photographs, printed in an edition of 1,500. FIRST 300 ORDERED COME SIGNED!!!

Exhibition runs through to April 21st, 2018
