 sex 1364 The Day Before the Fire
digital chromogenic print, approx 10.5" x 13.5” $95 My immediate neighborhood is sex worker turf (cis and trans women). About a half block from here in direct line of sight was an old warehouse building that had been closed and stripped for demolition. Some of the women and also some junkies (or more politely, opiate users; around here it's likely it was fentanyl sold as heroin) were using the building. These clothes are most likely something one of the women threw away. On April 13 at 2 AM a massive fire destroyed the building completely in about an hour. Two people escaped, two didn't. We watched the whole thing nervously from a block away; if the wind had shifted we would have been in serious danger. This photo was shot a day before the fire, near the hole in the fence where people were coming and going from the building. Learn more about the artist and this show here. Comments are closed.
