    About The Artwork

    Focusing on themes of concealment, queer spaces and voyeurism, Dean Sameshima's series 'being alone' comprises 25 black and white photographs of lone audience members in a Berlin porn cinema. The long exposure bleaches the screen and renders the performers anonymous, providing safety for both them, and the unidentified solitary viewer with their back to the camera. In this special limited edition for House of Voltaire, Sameshima expands the series to include its first colour photographic print that brings more of the on-screen event into focus.
