It’s complicated to unravel questions surrounding how persons in the sex trade are viewed and how they may view themselves in terms of commodity. There’s a simple transactional agreement and setup in a “live” Peep Show where a voyeur is drawn into a booth after purchasing to gaze upon the nude person inside. In the installation PEEPSHOW, the staging is balanced, and the voyeur who has “paid” for the power and privilege of the gaze becomes watched simultaneously by the subject of desire inside the booth, altering the gaze into one that is shared.
