In Exposure (_2140975), Paul Mpagi Sepuya constructs a photographic field that is simultaneously intimate and analytical, layering studio reflections, partial figures, and the camera's own presence into a single compressed image. Made in 2018 and printed as an archival pigment print, the work belongs to Sepuya's ongoing investigation into how the photographic studio functions as both a physical space and a conceptual one, a place where desire, representation, and the act of looking are made visible rather than concealed. Mirrors, draped backdrops, and overlapping bodies recur throughout his practice as tools for fracturing the illusion of a stable, neutral image, and this work is no exception, folding multiple moments and perspectives into a composition that refuses straightforward reading. The result is a picture acutely aware of its own construction. Sepuya's methodology draws from a lineage of artists who have turned the camera on the conditions of image-making itself, yet his approach carries a distinctly personal charge, rooted in Black queer embodiment and the histories of how such bodies have been framed, studied, and looked at. Exposure (_2140975) does not simply document a scene; it proposes a different set of terms for what a photographic portrait can be, one grounded in reciprocity and self-awareness rather than objectification. Presented framed and hand-signed by the artist, this work measures 81.3 by 61 centimeters and is offered through DOCUMENT. It represents a strong example from a pivotal period in Sepuya's career, when his studio-based methodology was receiving significant critical recognition, and it offers collectors a work of intellectual rigor and visual sophistication in equal measure.
