Anggrek Agency is pleased to present Lovers, Somehow, the second solo exhibition by British artist Stuart Sandford.
Sandford (b. 1978) is a prominent voice in contemporary art and queer image-making, known for his intimate photographic practice and sculptural works spanning over two decades. Working between London, Mexico, and Los Angeles, his work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Tom of Finland Foundation and the Bob Mizer Museum, and in collaboration with cultural and commercial platforms such as Diesel. His practice continues to navigate visibility, desire, and censorship in the digital age.
Lovers, Somehow extends the narrative introduced in Pleasure Boy (2024), the inaugural exhibition of Anggrek Agency. While the earlier presentation focused on Polaroid collages produced during the COVID lockdown in Mexico and Los Angeles, the current exhibition brings together works from Sandford’s recent travels across Europe and an artist residency in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, earlier this year.
Across Polaroids, Polaroid collages, and a new diptych, Sandford constructs a diaristic visual language in which moments of intimacy presented through fragmentation and juxtaposition. Echoing the photographic traditions of Nan Goldin and Wolfgang Tillmans, the works collapse distinctions between portrait and still life, allowing bodies and objects to carry equal emotional weight. Desire is not fixed in a single subject, but dissolved and circulated across images, encounters, and memories.
Lovers, Somehow also marks the final exhibition at Anggrek Agency’s current address, lending the presentation a particular sense of reflection and transition.
