About the book
With over 200 images of t-shirt 'messages', T: A Typology of T-shirts looks at those individuals who stand out in a crowd through their choice of the message on their back. These photographs are not just about the t-shirt. With their combination of pictures and words these messages reveal much about the identity of the wearer. They tell us who they are, who they want to be and what they want us to know about them - their hopes, ideals, political views and personal mantras. By photographing from the back, Barnett challenges the time-honoured tradition of the portrait.
