At the 2014 Edition of the FNB Joburg Art Fair, A body of work titled
Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg
Dean's Bed is Love, intimacy, dreams, longing, conceit, queer, identity, authenticity and beauty.
It is made with people, not of subjects - Chosen family, old friends, new friends, artists. Working, playing, with the participants to reveal, but not capture, ultimate expressions of self… a naked… bare self that holds agency. Shifting photographer to participant, creating relationships and abandoning distance. Making Love.
Like much of the artist's work, this series of intimate portraits challenges what is "normal" outside of binary concepts of gender, embracing fluidity and a comfortable expression of difference.
Alongside the selected large scale photographs, ROOM in association with Dean Hutton will also launch an exclusive collection of limited edition prints of the entire body of work.
Dean Hutton (b. 1976, ZA) is a genderqueer photojournalist and artist who lives and works in Johannesburg. Ongoing concerns include: Portraiture as co-authorship, Social media as narrative, Technology as self-reflection, Private narratives, Public conceits & Queer identity as Body of Work.
