2018 Art Basel Miami Fundraising Edition. This new work by Sepuya, Darkroom Mirror with Roses at Night, builds on the artist's interest in portraiture, collage and reflection as a way to explore homoerotic visual culture. The image presents a quiet view of the artist's outstretched hand shown in front of a black velvet backdrop, with the traces of human touch visible on the surface of a studio mirror. A series of paper cut-outs depicting illuminated roses break up the frame and obscure the camera's lens, exploring the complexity of viewing and delving into queer intimacy.
