SWITCH x MARK DEKTOR | DECEMBER 15, 2018 – JANUARY 12, 2019 | VIP PREMIER NIGHT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15 | 7PM – 10PM
Los Angeles, CA (PRUnderground) November 11th, 2018
AC Gallery presents SWITCH, the inaugural solo exhibition by American photographer Mark Dektor. Intimate portraits and situations grant the viewer a shift in perception, offering an uninhibited look into the private BDSM life.
Director and cinematographer Mark Dektor began his career in the advertising industry, but changed directions to fine art photography when fueled with a desire to fulfill an unrequited dimension in his creativity. A subculture of mystique opens up to Dektor’s lens, breaking down misconceptions and allowing others to witness the intrigue of BDSM purely. Power dynamics become visible with a vulnerability not often experienced. True personalities are exposed yet maintain the same level of credence. In essence, Dektor’s work becomes a showcase of pent up emotions to finally emancipate freely, becoming a visual delight for all to behold.
According to Carlos Benitez, AC Gallery Director and Curator, “Mark Dektor’s photographs capture the vision of Robert Mapplethorpe’s ground work.”
Mark Dektor will debut thirty-six black-and-white photographs exploring multiple subject matter from his evergrowing archive, which features no fewer than 5,000 digital originals, at AC Gallery and within the recently completed White Cube exhibition space inside the gallery, a space dedicated to solo and collaborative long-term projects. A panel discussion on BDSM background and culture between participants in the scene is to follow on January 11, 2019.
The solo exhibition SWITCH runs December 15, 2018 – January 12, 2019 with a VIP Preview set for Saturday, December 15 from 7–10pm at AC Gallery located 1546 N. Highland Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90028. Admission is complementary with RSVP to: art@acgallery.us
