Ivar Wigan documents scenes from underground hip-hop and street culture in the American South. Taken throughout multiple cities—predominately in Miami, Atlanta and New Orleans—the images are a defiant celebration of marginalized culture, suffered with a sense of admiration and empathy. The title of the work dedicated to a term from the community, a ‘God’ is a veteran hustler—someone who has either survived the ‘streets’ and/or the complex maze of America’s prison system. This lionization of what might be considered a transgressive community is a central theme of Wigan’s work. The uniqueness of “The Gods” has won acclaim and recognition from the British Journal of Photography, Feature Shoot Magazine, i-D Magazine, Hunger Magazine and VICE for documenting a culture that is often misunderstood. @ivar.wigan © Ivar Wigan / © Little Big Man Gallery @littlebigmangallery #IvarWigan #TheGods #AmericanPhotography #TheStreetIsWatching #YoungLove #ComingOfAge #lovedandposted # #Ⓚ #kittesencula . ᴋɪᴛᴛᴇsᴇɴᴄᴜʟᴀ.ᴄᴏᴍ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzQbV4taYE/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
