Boogie's known for his documentary photography of neo-Nazis, crack addicts and other individuals at the extremities of human experience. But for Demons, on show this summer at The Outsiders galleries in Newcastle and London, Boogie used the antique wet collodion photo technique to capture the darker side of his subjects. As a result of the process these ordinary members of the public appeared somehow possessed by infernal forces. The black plexiglass plates used for wet collodion photography form the original works available at Demons.
‘Sara’ is not included in the Demons exhibition and exclusive to print. Like every portrait in Demons the work is named after an unhallowed biblical figure – a wife possessed by the demon of lust Asmodeus who had slaughtered seven of her husbands on their wedding night. The story is from the apocryphal Book of Tobit, found in fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
