GUP #63 - PORTRAITS OF LIFE

Theme: Portraits of Life

 

Photography has the ability to satiate our curiosity for situations completely different from what we’re familiar with. The photographers featured in this issue, either by completely exposing their own environment or immersing themselves in that of their subject, provide a unique peek into the lives of strangers. We are granted access into (fragments of) unknown worlds from the safety of our own home.

 

We present the latest project by Pieter Hugo, La Cucaracha, which brings to the fore the travelling artist’s openness towards generic yet unexpected situations. Hajar Benjida went to the famous Atlanta strip club Magic City to photograph the group of people that usually remain in the background, even though they are arguably the most influential of all: the strippers.
