Look at me like you love me
November 3, 2022—January 7, 2023

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – In the exhibition, Look at me like you love me, on view at CLAMP until January 7th, 2023, American photographer Jess T. Dugan (b.1986) uses portraiture and still life to explore the question, “How do we come to know ourselves – our intimate identity – and our connection with others?” Emerging from their experiences as a queer, non-binary person, Dugan’s portraiture examines themes of desire, relationships, and the lived experience. As both a photographer and a protagonist in their work, Dugan sees this project as an extended self-portrait. Dugan reflects in the gallery’s press release, “I continually explore what it means to live authentically and how visual representation—particularly photographic portraiture—plays a powerful role in that process.”  

Published as a book by MACK in 2022, Look at me like you love me emerged from a selection of new work from Dugan’s long-term project, Every breath we draw, which documents the queer experience, identity, and community through portraiture. Through the exhibition's fifteen images of individuals, couples, self-portraits, and still-life moments, Dugan creates a space for the viewer to pause, feel, and reflect. In CLAMP’s press release, Dugan shares, “My intention is to create work that facilitates intimacy and encourages empathy, understanding, and critical conversations about identity and contemporary social life.”   

Dugan’s monographs include Look at me like you love me (MACK, 2022), To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults (KehrerVerlag, 2018), and Every Breath We Drew (Daylight Books, 2015).
