ALEX BREW /// ASKING FOR IT
"The artist approaches men in public places – outside offices, pubs, cafes and gentlemen's venues often in London's square mile. She confronts them with her camera and sometimes asks them to fully or partially undress in a more private space – in an alleyway, a car park, or back at their place or hers.
The images illuminate the risks women take everyday in a culture that believes that the stranger is more dangerous than the man by your side in spite of the statistics that show the opposite."
This is about why women don't tend to objectify men and the massive obstacles in a woman's way if she goes after a positive, active sexuality: not least fear - of alienation, disapproval or violence. Not only by individual men but by the legal system.
