Pleasure Garden
Pleasure Garden involved spending time hanging out in swinger and fetish clubs. Being part of “Fake Holidays,” this project also had me fascinated by an artificial environment that gives rise to a sort of glaring hyper-reality.
Taking photographs in locations where sexual practices take place is not always a simple matter: I had to unequivocally distance myself from the role of the voyeur—being in places where photography is equated with pornography.
