PRIMARY (trailer)

Before the beginning of the new millennium, Clement Cooper produced a series of thought provoking portraits of children. They are intended to challenge our perceptions of just what a child is and should be. In essence, Cooper's work is a conscious attempt to break with the calculated construction of the child being the embodiment and personification of our ideals. Cooper's PRIMARY photographs reach beyond this fallacy in order to present a far more unsettling observation. By offering us these beautiful, deceptively simple photographs, taken in a variety of settings throughout the North West, Cooper has invited the viewer to project on to the subject their own pre-conceived attitudes, either conscious or unconscious, thus confronting and revealing our own particular failings and desires.
