Artist and intellectual, Lia D Castro investigates how relations of race, class, and gender take form in moments of intimacy and vulnerability. The artist addresses the practice of prostitution as a research tool and develops her work from encounters with her clients – cisgender men, mainly white, heterosexual, from up and middle classes – to subvert relations of power or violence that may arise between them, connecting personal life and social history. The design of the catalogue is inspired by the visual aspects of the artist’s work: the play between reality and representation, tradition and rebellion. The selected font, Sectra, adds a sense of sharpness to a classic handwriting font. The text blocks are used at times as regular columns and at others as a frame for the images, decorating the artworks.
