Bakeca is a photographic research on exhibitionism as a form of sexual expression made by Marco P. Valli and Anna Adamo between 2014 and 2016 in Italy.
Through an ad on a well-known adult encounters website, the authors gained access to the life and the intimate spaces of the subjects who had been until then open in the semi-private dimension of the web, and in public spaces known for this type of encounters. The goal of the project is to photograph the exhibition of aspects of the subjects’ sexuality made invisible or silenced.
This book collects the photos made by the authors during these encounters and a selection of archival digital material obtained from emails and images attached to the responses to the ad.
