Hoda Afshar’s Behold at CCP, Melbourne, Australia

Hoda Afshar’s latest series, Behold, shares images of male intimacy within a bathhouse. Afshar was granted access to a private bathhouse, where she was given the opportunity to photograph men in an environment in which they were able to explore their sexuality, free of constraints. On show at the CCP in Melbourne earlier this year, Behold raises questions of identity, personal freedom, and the very nature of documentary photography.
