Shhhh! You know who you are! Portraits taken over the last two years of an annual private event. The original 'Give!' party was begun by an extended network of friends. It brought together people from a variety of social backgrounds and has been an ongoing event since the early 90s. A ‘friendship’ culture is maintained – new guests have to be invited – and the location is carefully guarded. The festive atmosphere allows the relaxation of societal norms. Typically, partygoers exhibit a playful exuberance that subverts the constraints of mainstream identity politics.

Acerca del creador
Sukey Parnell Johnson
London
I am a photographic artist and performer working at creating portrayals on both sides of the camera. Photographically, my particular area of interest is the transaction of the portrait between photographer and sitter, and viewer and portrayed - and the representation of age and 'femininity'. Having worked in the creative industries as an actress and singer, I bring a 'theatrical' sensibility to my portraits, creating a moment of heightened appearance and evoking a sense of the unseen psychic lives and character of my sitters. I was awarded a PhD by practice in 2018 for my exploration of the forces constraining the appearance of older women: Hagging the Image was a series of experimental films 'in the round'.
