Peres Projects is pleased to present the first West Coast solo exhibition of photographs by filmmaker, writer, and photographer Bruce LaBruce. The exhibition will feature recent works taken during the casting of LaBruce's films, shooting for porn and fashion magazines as well as his own casting calls.
LaBruce was an early producer of homo punk fanzines which helped launch the so-called Homocore or Queercore movement. In the 1990s he expanded his artistic activities to include filmmaking with the release of such films as "No Skin Off My Ass" (1991), "Hustler White" (1996), and "Skin Flick" (1998/1999). His films have appeared in major film festivals including Sundance, Cannes, London, Berlin, Dublin, Thessaloniki, Toronto, Vancouver, Tokyo and San Francisco. Most recently, LaBruce has been using photography to further his artistic vision with shows in the US, Canada and Europe. His photographs also regularly appear in porn and fashion magazines such as Honcho, Dutch and Index.
