Ryan x Troye

Known for his evocative, playful portrait photography, American artist and fashion photographer Ryan McGinley has borne witness to youth and subcultures from the 90s to now. His early photos displayed the unseen intersection of skateboard and graffiti culture from a queer perspective, and to this day he has an ongoing practice that includes photographing members of his creative community in New York.

In this exclusive exhibition for PHOTO 2024, McGinley teams up with local pop sensation Troye Sivan, two artists vocally championing LGBTQIA+ stories and activisms. Featuring photography originally shot for Hero Magazine, this exhibition is a cross-generational celebration of queer joy, including new images as yet unreleased from the series.

Ryan x Troye runs concurrently with the Australian Premiere of YEARBOOK, McGinley’s epic photographic installation at Shepparton Art Museum for PHOTO 2024.
