y v e s _ ( 山寨 ) _ [ 2 0 1 7 ]

This series was shot in Shanghai, China after Yves Klein's 'Anthropometries.' This was a collaboration with local gay male escorts working in the city. The idea was to reappropriate Klein's imagery through a contemporary queer lens, using the notion of Chinese imitation (山寨) culture. I wanted to represent sex workers in a way that empowers them, making them the subject of the work as opposed to the mere means by which it is created.
