These photographs were taken in a purpose built photographic booth as part of an artistic installation within 'Mekarnivale', Mekanarky's annual masquerade ball in 2005. Mekanarky (2002-2008) were Sydney's pre-eminant anarchist art collective. Numbering between 20 and 30 artists, they inhabited a large disused ice-cream factory in the suburb of Turrella, Sydney. This series of portraits are an extract from a collaborative seven hour portrait session by Dean Sewell and Tamara Dean during the course of the ball.
