Magnet featuring a video still of Melanie Bonajo 's artwork, Night Soil – Economy of Love, 2015, displayed as part of the group exhibition Modern Love (or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies).
Melanie Bonajo's work explores issues of queerness, community, equality and body politics, as well as the paradoxes inherent in ideas of comfort.
Night Soil - Economy of Love, 2015, focuses on a Brooklyn-based movement of female sex workers who look at their work as a way for women to reclaim power in a male-dominated pleasure zone, their mission being to rearrange sexual conventions and ideas about intimacy.
