One of the photographic portraits on display
Fifty-two black and white photographic portraits of people from Leeds were placed within the shop windows in the retail outlets of the Victoria Quarter, Leeds. Placing the portraits of local people in between existing commercial images set up an ambiguity and raised questions about peoples’ identity and consumer aspirations. The series sought to explore questions about the late 90s style of advertising using ordinary people to sell products.
