Text by Philippe Azoury
English translation by Delia Morris
A dark and brooding photographic investigation into the less glamorous side of prostitution and the people and bodies that occupy this world, with a text by Philippe Azoury. In d'Agata's impressionistic, romantic style, tension builds between the beauty of the images and the subject matter, which enhances a sense of needy but joyless hedonism and of sex accompanied by high anxiety, poetically composed yet psychologically taut. Featured in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's The Photobook: A History, Volume III, it was published in 2004, the year d'Agata joined Magnum Photos.
