The Birthday Party eternalises the last days of childhood with timeless portraits that are at once hauntingly beautiful and provocative. Vee Speers explores the playful escapism of games of “dress ups” in childhood and the encompassing notions of performance and play. These portraits confront us with reminders of our childhood, creating enigmatic stories which blur the line between reality and fiction, highlighting our need to escape into fantasy.
“There is always a certain tension in my work which draws the viewer into what is hidden beneath the surface. My intention was to show a real side of human nature, to expose a side of childhood that is not care-free or clichéd, and project a range of emotions and definitions which are part of an imperfect world.” Vee Speers
