Elle Pérez: Diablo

Exhibition Website

- Sep 3 2018

MOMA PS1

New York City, NY

Pérez’s photographs distill moments of intimacy and emotional exchange. Emerging from collaborative relationships with their protagonists, Pérez’s images are entangled with the people and scenarios they depict. They meld traditional categories of portraiture, still life, and landscape to explore a diffuse and everyday erotic life; public space is laden with private meaning, while private moments are made deliberately public. Presented alongside photographs made over the past three years, a new collage gathering images and written notes unspools the encounters and affections held within the photographs’ individual frames, creating a circuitous web of past moments.
