Between Reality and Dreams: Avion Pearce and Elle Pérez in Conversation | Aperture Conversations

2024 Aperture Portfolio Prize winner, Avion Pearce, and artist Elle Pérez discuss Pearce’s award-winning series “In the Hours Between Dawn.” Pérez, who is a mentor of Pearce’s, shares their unique insight into the work. Depicting queer and trans communities of color in Brooklyn, “In the Hours Between Dawn” inhabits multiple registers and explores photography’s potential to chart the interplay between time and the body. Survival, in Pearce’s work, is about being both soft and strong.
