Form - Malcolm McGettigan

FORM

Form is a series of images shot ringside at boxing and Muay Thai events. The images showcase the gladiatorial power of the combatants, while light, human exertion and movement combine in chance compositions that are almost sculptural. In FORM, boxers become figures of statuesque drama frozen in time.

The light hit and highlighted the muscle tone, sweat and tattoos but the speed at which they moved dictated how the fighters were composed in the frame. The selection here isn't about the fight but about the moments that happen in between, chance compositions.

FORM is my first solo show, as part of PhotoIreland 2015.
