Oh Boy - an exhibition of photography by Simon Loiseau and Jayson Batut -

“At first, the idea was simply to document my friend Jayson’s gender transition…” explains Simon Loiseau – a recent graduate of the Agnès Varda School of Photography. “Our photographic encounters became moments of exploration of ideas, materials, and – above all – new representations.”

“Our special relationship allows us to create a space and time that is both safe and reflective…” adds Simon. “These photographs allow us to make visible Jayson’s change, to capture a life path that is rarely shown to us.”

“Simon and I are close friends…” says Jayson. “Through his eyes, Simon is an intimate witness to my transition. Through his eyes, I see myself changing. It’s a poetic and sensual dialogue, a record of my journey as the new gay man I am becoming.”

“In this series of photographs, I feel visible through the details…” continues Jayson. “It is an entry into my flesh that craves change, desire, the urge to grow and explore.”
