Brit Holly Revell is an artist photographer and documenter of performance who has a keen eye for preserving and collaborating with queer artists, making images and portraits which explore performance and transforming identities. They made their mark on London’s queer cabaret scene in 2010 with their photo-booth installation DARKROOM, which offered a live photographic experience to audiences at art and club events. Their current project People Like Us which is exploring AFAB (assigned female at birth) trans and non-binary identities and experiences.

They are about to be the next presenter of the monthly talk from the Photobook Club and the Royal Photographical Society Curated by Tom Broadbent the series features members of The Photobook Club during the course of 2022.   Holly will talk about their project People Like Us which is an ongoing collaborative photography project exploring trans and non-binary identities and experiences; queer masculinity, gender-dysphoria / euphoria, non-conforming bodies, visibility, rituals and individual complexities. They plan to publish the whole project as a photobook in 2023 plus Holly will also give a brief overview of their practice documenting queer performance and performers including a mention of their first monograph: David Hoyle-Parallel Universe

 

The talk is on Wednesday 16th November 6.30pm (UK Time) in Bristol and online - all welcome.  

Oh did we mention it's also FREE https://events.rps.org/.../the-photobook-club-at.../overview
P.S. The mention of David Hoyle the legendary  performance artist and avant-garde cabaret artist (and a real Queerguru favorite) works with Hilly regularly reminds me of a recent shoot they did at Royal Vauxhall Tavern which is so good and so needs to be shared.
