Hawkes’ series Untitled (He never should have worn those shorts), presents sports as a dramatic set of theatrics involving physical performance and movement. The staged photographs reverse the gender stereotypes which pervade sports by presenting the sportswomen as powerful, violent and sexually exploitative – essentially emulating media representations of men in sport. These images draw the audience’s attention to many of the issues associated with sports, including gender inequality, representation in the media, violence and alcohol abuse in team sports.
