Sharon Hayes - Echo

With her Lesbian Love Tour in 1996, which visited and photographed forty-five “lesbian living rooms” in almost as many cities, Hayes investigates how political intention and longing can manifest concretely, in a movement from the individual or the protective community of groups to larger forums. With a background in journalism and anthropology, she is currently one of the most influential politically and socially committed artists in the USA. Text: Lena Essling, Sharon Hayes, Ann-Sofi Noring
