The Story
In this striking series, artist Alex Remington confronts the uneasy intersection of privilege, race, and invisibility in America.
After meeting a formerly successful engineer living in a shelter—someone who had lost his mental capacity and, with it, his livelihood—Remington was compelled to explore the fragility of status and visibility.
Borrowing an Armani wedding gown through his mother, a Neiman Marcus buyer, he dressed the man in a symbol of wealth and aspiration. The contrast is intentional and uneasy.

About the Artist
After 15 years of passionately creating images as an amateur, Remington formally began his career as a fine art photographer in 2006. In 2009 he won Best New Artist in the Dallas Observer. In 2012 he won Best Fine Art Photography in Dallas/Ft. Worth by Fashion Group International, a global organization founded in the 1920’s by Eleanor Roosevelt to honor artists and fashion gurus. Remington’s work is part of One Arts Plaza’s art collection, and on three occasions Neiman Marcus has hosted Remington as their featured artist. In 2012, Two x Two, one of the nation’s largest art-related charities, accepted Remington into its stable of artists.
