SHADOWS OF TWO… - Lot 214
SHADOWS OF TWO… Scene from Jean-François Davy’s docudrama “Prostitution,” 1976. Photograph, vintage RC print, production stamp on the back. 17.6 x 23.7 cm Note: Produced against the backdrop of the mobilization movements of sex workers in the mid-1970s, *Prostitution* gives a voice to women and men interviewed about their living conditions, their clients, and the violence they face. Jean-François Davy combines filmed testimonies, documentary footage, and reenacted scenes, which explains why the work is sometimes described as “docu-fiction.” It is, however, officially classified as a documentary. Following *Exhibition* in 1975, the director thus continued his direct exploration of sexualities and their social realities, at a time marked by the relaxation of film censorship.
