EMMANUEL ANGELICAS BIOGRAPHY
On his seventh birthday in 1970, Emmanuel Angelicas was given a plastic Diana camera by his father. Photography would then and there become his friend and his way to communicate with people and document the environment he lived in.
With a spontaneous and straightforward approach, he wandered around his native Marrickville and recorded the migrant communities and street life. For more than forty years Angelicas has been capturing images of Marrickville without avoiding it’s darkest facets.
Angelicas’ vast archive is not limited to his signature Marrickville portfolio. He has produced compelling collections from his travels to Thailand, Japan, Greece and Bali as well as hardcore themes and a private collection.
Whether in Marrickville, or beyond, Angelicas’ photographs are a personal account of physical experience. Each time remaining the same photographer, he has created an all- embracing path towards finding balance and harmony
