About Everybody Knows This is Nowhere
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is inspired in great part by Catherine Opie’s Dyke Deck. The project is a departure from McGinley’s road trip images of kids in caves and running nude across highways. Instead, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere's collection of nearly 100 black & white nude portraits of young people are defined by simple, Avedon-esque aesthetic of black, white and grey. While intimate, the portraits are defined less by grand “I see you” moments and more by a general optimism in freedom, youth, clear skin and hairlessness.
