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.
The triptych ‘Yoma’ is one of the centrepieces of the Demons exhibition itself. Yoma is a name ascribed to the Hindu angel of death amongst other diabolical entities, and it's still used today to describe demons in Japanese Manga animations. Just like Sara, the physical form of Yoma is an ordinary passerby photographed by Boogie in his native Belgrade.
