Copyright© Barry GollopMore Information
Three young men run joyfully across a field. Their lack of clothing implies a sense of remoteness, far from the prying eyes of onlookers, and further removes them from social mores. As a queer photographer, Gollup upended social norms, presenting alternative conceptions of sociality and leisure. This photo depicts the human form in harmony with the natural world and captures a moment of total freedom and union with nature, however fleeting.
