Ordinary Marvel includes lush, full-colour reprints of Kealeys major photographic series The Phenomenology of Licorice, Synopses and Epilogue. In these works Kealey critically examined the techniques of documentary and commercial photography through the creation of photographic studies of everyday objects, photographed on a brightly lit table in a spare clinical manner. Synopses is a quasi-scientific and sociological taxonomy, a cabinet of curiosities taken apart, documented and presented as cultural record.
