feature video stream 2nd: The Face of Defeat

In 2nd: The Face of Defeat, award-winning photographer Sandy Nicholson captures contestants and competitors following the announcement that they did not place 1st in their event. This gently ironic and at times humorous work explores the moments of what is in most cases, personal disappointment. All the subjects were photographed moments after they had stepped down from the podium or immediately following the announcement of their standing. Sandy Nicholson works on large-scale documentary projects that are exhibited in national and international galleries such as the National Portrait Gallery, London, the World Expo, Lisbon, Fotofeis, Scotland, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney and has won a World Press Photo. His solo exhibitions, Lifts, Suburban Fetish and 2nd, have shown in Australia, the U.K., Canada and Eastern Europe. Sandy is represented by Tatar Gallery www.tatargallery.com.
