Twin Palms is a satirical series of 29 images shot in Palm Springs, California by UK photographer Matt Henry, and inspired by the shifts in gender relations of the late 1960s. The project focuses on the fictional town of Twin Palms whose young female inhabitants have been gripped by a ‘mass hysteria’ that threatens the town’s suburban patriarchy. The series features ‘time-capsule’ interiors unchanged since the mid-century period as well as sets created by the artist.

 

“Gender relations were evolving in this period,” claims Henry, “though you’d find few dominant, self-aware female characters represented in the films and television shows of the time. It became interesting to me to transplant a more modern psyche back into this mid-century environment; to represent a spirit perhaps present but not yet fully realised.”

 

The FEUTEU exhibition features the first part of Twin Palms. The whole series may be seen on Matt Henry's website here and you may purchase other Matt Henry photobooks here.
