Yer Out!
Digital Manipulation/Deconstruction,
2004
It's well known the spectacle
of sports dominant the entertainment industry
in the United States. In fact, the history of
the country prides itself on maintaining sports
as a fundamental aspect of being American. "Like baseball and
apple pie." The power of sports entertainment
is insurmountable. More people will voluntarily
attend a sports contest than enlist in the military
or show up at the polls on voting day.
The most intriguing thing about sports entertainment
is that the audience is approvingly accepted as
interactive, public voyeurs cheering for their favorite
players without inhibitions. But where would sports
be without the players?
Yer Out! is an exploration
of sports photography that looks beyond the individuals
of the gaze and returns the spectacle back onto
the audience. |
