Episode 1 - Emmanuel Angelicas. Emmanuel Angelicas was born and raised in Marrickville a tough neighbourhood. In his photographs we are seeing images formed by the fashion studio and the streets of Marrickville rather than the bush or Bondi. He enforces his style through his sense of composition of centring graphic impact and by a particular detachment from his surroundings. 'I had a show of my Marrickville work at the Prinz Gallery in Kyoto. It was interesting because the Japanese saw my Marrickville as very exotic and dangerous. My stars of the street they felt were aliens from another planet wheras, for me, Tokyo belongs on another planet.' -- Emmanuel Angelica
