A flight; responded to with other similar compositions according to certain rules of life, here Rory Mulligan’s photographs echo our own limitation on variation, yet conduct without being monotonous. Gestures repeat, but as Milan Kundera points out, even human difference is limited, thus eliciting elements of familiarity. This selection of photographs which range through different bodies of his work revolve around the song of Rory’s life played in different cities with different men, different homes, lived, desired and dreamt similarly. The images echo and syncopate while the beat is constant. Richness emanates and details, visual phrasing, situation, aspirations, desires intertwine; order holds; difference piques. The images are described articulately, and black and white is not invoked as nostalgia, but as coherence, a device reminding us that these works are indeed within the tradition of photography.
