With the judge wearing full ceremonial dress whilst using public transport, the image is amusing as it highlights the fact that even the most important among us have to get from A to B.
Families living at different ends of the scale are also used to great contrast. Danziger places side by side family images of the opulence enjoyed by Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the sixth Duke of Westminster, and an 'ordinary' family at a car boot sale in Wales. This simple comparison speaks volumes.
The bizarre also plays an important role in this collection. Why search for signs of life on Mars when aliens have landed in Danziger’s portraits?
An actor dressed as an alien with huge feet and body is captured sitting on a sofa, the image is bizarre whilst being quite comforting at the same time due to the creature being surrounded by mod cons in an everyday environment.
One of the most memorable pictures in the series is of huge Bridget Jones style knickers hanging from a washing line at the front of a house in Barrow in Furness. The sheer daring nature of the picture makes you wonder why this woman has chosen to literally air her dirty, or in this case clean, laundry in public!
The British is visually humorous, thought provoking and interesting, however, these photos only capture one moment in time and leave you wondering what happened after the flash had lost its brightness.
The fact that the photos are in black and white enables the snapshots to capture a darker, more reflective side to our society and adds an air or mystery to the whole exhibition.
Add to this the prints contrasting with the vibrancy of the gallery, which makes the photos echo their message into the space, saying so much without saying a single word.
