A series of portraits and candid scenes of life on the road, Giddyup follows masked country musician Orville Peck on his first tour of North America. The photo project which takes the form of 80-page softcover book, captures the cowboy spirit recontextualized by Peck – an old world aesthetic embraced by a storyteller with a punk perspective. From drag queens to bedazzled, fringe-wearing fans (aka Peckheads), the road to the top is littered with rhinestones and roses. Yeehaw!
Giddyup was first exhibited in a solo presentation at the Leslie-Lohman Museum Project Space in NYC in October 2019. The book is now available on her website and at Printed Matter.
