Honorable Mention
Soul, 2018.
Jamie Murray, United Kingdom
Soul, 2018.
DESCRIPTION
“You do jobs to get out of your cell. To do stuff. Other than that, your banged up all the time. Weekends are the worst in prison, you’re just banged up. I used to hate Sunday.”

My interest in documenting modern institutions defines my practice. Moving through topics such as warships, prisons and boarding schools, I aim to interrogate and represent the varying aspects of these environments utilising a number of techniques relating to the notion of documentary. This particular image shows Soul, an ex-prisoner. Rather than making work limited to my interpretation of this environment, these portraits alongside the individuals stories who experienced prison, aim to better represent the modern myth of incarceration.

His photographic work looks toward the nature of various institutions including prisons, the Royal Navy and Schools. Through varying notions of documentary storytelling, he interrogates people’s relationship with these spaces and their relevance to contemporary society.
