Deanna Templeton ā What She Said
What She SaidĀ takes its title from a song byĀ The Smiths: 'What she said was sad / But then, all the rejection sheās had / To pretend to be happy / Could only be idiocy.' The work originates in portraitsĀ Deanna TempletonĀ made on the streets of the US, Europe, Australia and Russia, in which she captured women ināÆtheir adolescence: punks and outcasts whose ripped jeans and tights, tattoos, and hairstyles stand as testament to this transitional moment in their lives as they navigate the intensity of teenage life. Templeton grew up in an ostensibly different environment in 1980s youth, but she recognised in them something of the universality of female adolescence, as they struggled with similar disappointments and challenges she encountered as a young woman. The book combines these modern portraits with gig flyers and Templetonās own teenage journal entries from the mid to late 80s, in which the familiar experience of growing up is laid bare in all its antagonism, humour and pathos.
168 pages, 19.5 x 24.5cm, linen hardback with tip-in, MACK (London).
