Thirst/Trap
2020 · Solo exhibition · Denny Dimin Gallery, New York · Curated by Scott Patrick Weiner
Thirst/Trap bookends the past twenty years of LGBTQIA history, looking back to 1999–2000 as a crucial moment. The past twenty-year period saw the rise of the internet, and Fader’s project examines the role of digital photography and queer representation (or lack of it) at the beginning and end of this two-decade transformation.
The exhibition, curated by Scott Patrick Weiner, brought together two bodies of work made in tandem: Insufficient Memory and Best Lives.
New page: this exhibition previously had no page of its own. More installation photography to be added from Sean's archive.
