“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” This Mark Twain quote is a cheeky joke, but it’s certainly true for the photographs of Charles Fréger. For over a decade, Fréger has taken portraits of people dressed in the get-ups that place them in their own particular cultures and communities: Finnish sailors and synchronized skaters, French students learning to be midwives and chefs, young sumo wrestlers. His pictures are never stiff and anthropological, but instead exemplify a playful reverence toward our places in civilization, whether the subject is a janitor or a doctor.

Wilder Mann is a project Fréger has worked on for several years now; after picking up on a trend of “wild man” costumes used in traditional ceremonies and pageants, he traveled to eighteen European countries photographing the different iterations in each one. Wilder Mann shows men dressed in shaggy goat skins, prickly twigs, black hoods, fearsome face paint. They look like bears, or deer, or yaks, or aliens. They are the wild things, so within the frame of the photos is, literally, where the wild things are. The costumes exaggerate the male form in the same way a clown costume or massive sports mascot outfit does: the body is larger, the head is downright gigantic, and the effect is equal parts mesmerizing, comical, and scary (at least for young children). Fréger poses them outdoors, standing in snow drifts or on grassy plains, straddling the line between human and beast with no apparent existential angst about this fact.
