Archival pigment print, 26.7 x 40 cm. Presented by the Contemporary Art Society through the Collections Fund at Frieze, 2021/22

Shalini, Rudi, Sunil, Léo, and Stanley, was taken in an apartment in Montreal that he shared with his sister and partner, both of whom feature in the image.

The two photographs show the people he was closest to: his biological family on the one hand and his “chosen family” of friends and lovers he made through the gay liberation movement in Montreal at the time.

These photographs form part of a new collection of works that explore the many facets of family life, chosen because of your feedback through the Harris Your Place project.
