黑料不打烊

The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present Soft White Underbelly, an exhibition of photographic works by Mark Laita. This powerful series reveals raw and real glimpses of humanity鈥檚 most vulnerable communities, encouraging a conversation around the individuals and realities that often go unseen.

Soft White Underbelly, a metaphor for vulnerability, was born from Laita鈥檚 2009 photo series Created Equal. These new portraits, shot against stark and simple backdrops, highlight the individuality and humanity of his subjects. By emphasizing the lived experiences of his sitters, Laita鈥檚 photographs eschew judgment and focus instead on storytelling. Each image in the series captures a sense of unguarded honesty and reflects the vulnerability and complexity of life on the edges of society. Soft White Underbelly explores how a photograph can serve as a document of a person鈥檚 state at a specific moment in time.

The Soft White Underbelly project has garnered international attention through its accompanying video interviews, which have amassed over a billion views. This exhibition offers an opportunity to experience these works in a new context鈥攗p close, and on a scale that allows for deeper reflection on the stories behind the faces.
