Portrait series “Hoi Polloi” [Greek “The Many”] shows generations, ethnicities, nationalities and religions of the mixed community in the populated Canggu area in Bali. The many unique faces of people – in the great mass. We collaborated with some very talented local jewellers, like Tiger Frame, Johnny Ramli, Parts of Four and Just For The Money, with the idea to invite our subjects to be photographed in their own clothes, and then put a piece of jewellery on them. It gives the subject something to work with. Sometimes they’re uncomfortable, sometimes it’s like they were born with it, but it has worked to give everyone something special, somehow it becomes not just about them. – Exhibited in Bali, Indonesia, 2015.
