The List
On the evening of October 13th, 2014, my 27th birthday, I was gifted a list from an acquaintance I will refer to as ‘K’ (the Keeper). The list chronicled his sexual history, named and numbered in consecutive order. I spent a year tracking down the people behind the names, interviewing and photographing them in the hope of creating a picture of K as he would be seen through the eyes of his former lovers.
While reading ‘The List,’ consider your own:
How many people have you had sex with?
What would they say about you?
What would your life look like as seen through the eyes of your former lovers?
