Grace Lau's photographic journey through the world of sexuality, gender identity and sado-masochistic subculture has earned her a reputation as one of the leading photographers of the perverse. This retrospective details that journey from her earliest male nudes to her most recent work on cross-dressing. From a feminist perspective, Grace Lau explores sex and power and produces work that is revelatory, liberating and that celebrates the variety of sexual experience. Her photos travel well beyond the confines of S/M circuits, appearing in European magazines and museums.... Lau's own strongly defined stance as a woman artist -- with a fetishistic subculture -- marks her out as an interpretor of a very particular sexual politic. -- New StatesmanOver the last fifteen years, Grace Lau's photographic journey through the world of sexuality, gender identity and sado-masochistic sub-culture has earned her the reputation of a photographer of perverse taste.
