PAUL MPAGI SEPUYA | EXHIBITION

Mirror Study (_Q5A2059), 2016 © Paul Mpagi Sepuya

Paul Mpagi Sepuya (1982, US) explores the conventions of portrait
photography and the role of the studio in his work. Sepuya’s work is rooted in homoerotic visual culture. Friends, muses and intimates from the queer community are the subject of his work. His work is more than a dialogue of intimate relationships between the artist and those portrayed; it is also a visual exploration of ideas surrounding representation, identity and sexuality.

FOAM 3h: SENTA SIMOND | EXHIBITION

Senta Simond's work focuses on an intimate approach to the female body and portraiture. Her photographs feature a circle of acquaintances and respond to existing, and too often clichéd, representation of femininity. Foam shows black-and-white as well as colour works including a tryptic of Simond’s portraits in an intimate exhibition at Foam 3h, Foam’s space for young photographers.
