About Alex
Alex George Darocy is based in the California County of Santa Cruz, where he has lived since he was three. He has been taking pictures since he was 10 years old, and his medium of choice is film photography. His favorite subjects to shoot are toys and phallic fruits and vegetables, often in combination. By placing two toys together in a scene, or a banana and a toy together, and then photographing them closeup with macro equipment, Alex creates art that verges on both the psychological and the political. Using found objects as the fabric of his creations enables Alex to comment on what is available to consumers in the market place. Their often bizarre designs, as well as the social conditions the objects are made in, dramatically affect the tone of the photos as well.
