Press Contact. This exhibition is about daily life as it is for a group of Mexican women in a specific street. Their work has the purpose of supporting the life of their children. The Danish anthropologist Christian Heilskov Rasmussen initiated the project which has as it's aim to reach one step further than to the traditional stigmatizing usually following prostitutes.
No wo don't! We are selling a service for which some men are paying. To all the women, of who three were born as male, Christian Heilskov Rasmussen explained his interest in their story and their portrait. For each interview he paid the price for one service. Of course, because they were at work.
He could take their photographed portrait with and without clothes if he promised not to make them accessible on the internet. Except for one woman, Rosario, who poses on a photograph 6 month pregnant trying to take of her briefs. At another one she sits with the new born baby surrounded by her other children. Today she is a chauffeur driving trucks - those with a large hanger. Those two artists in this way become a part of a tradition in art history of visual artist using prostitutes as their models.
