Little White Lies.

“I can’t remember ever seeing you look so nice, I’m sorry I keep staring at you, but you’re my girl, right? Then, saw you on the street with someone else, Why? Why would you do that? You promised me.”

Depicting the confusion he feels when he knows he has lost her love, a Dublin man believes his city loves him no more and tries to send her messages in an attempt to get that love back.

Following the photographic series Thisplace, Little White Lies is collaboration between DMC the painter and Aidan Kelly, Photographer. Fourteen photographs sized A0 on diabond aluminum have been hand embellished with paint and stencils, some without words, reacting, he cannot make sense of his world falling apart. a dream gone bad.
