Join us online June 27– 28 for photo l.a.’s first-ever virtual photo fair, Virtual Collect + Connect. Photo l.a. has reimagined the traditional fair space to digitally present over 70 exhibitors via interactive, 3D booths accessed via the Whova app and housed on the photo l.a. website. We are thrilled to be a part of this virtual edition! www.photola.com
De Buck Gallery’s booth will include contemporary photographic works by artists Devan Shimoyama and Esmaa Mohamoud, as well as mixed media works by Marielle Plaisir. Shimoyama’s practice examines black queerness and sexuality, themes shared by the work of Mohamoud, whose included works (from her 2019 “One of the Boys” series), studies black masculinity in athletics. Utilizing multimedia techniques including collage, Plaisir imagines in her work a reality free of racial hierarchy, layering imagery of nature, beauty, and black pleasure.
A portion of the sales from Photo L.A. will be donated to an organization that supports the Black community, chosen collaboratively by staff and our artists.
