Virgin Mary. Supermarkets. Popcorn. Photographs 1999-2020

2 Feb - 12 May 2024
Awash in his trademark detailed mise-en-scenes, Virgin Mary. Supermarkets. Popcorn. Photographs 1999-2020 is the largest collection of Aldridge’s work, with over 80 photographs including pieces from (after Cattelan) (in collaboration with artist Maurizio Cattelan) and his Immaculée series, which depicts modern-looking models as religious figures. Portraits of cultural mavericks like Donatella Versace and Ralph Fiennes are also present, inhabiting Aldridge’s slightly surreal, always enticing world. The mark of a true visionary, Aldridge is always able to bend the reality he photographs to fit into his larger-than-life perspective.
