Merry Alpern
1995

In the winter of 1993–94, Merry Alpern used a friend’s Wall Street apartment to take photographs of the windows of an underground sex club across the way. In eighty-seven grainy, black-and-white photographs, she captured scenes and transactions between businessman and sex workers, yielding a cunning document of surveillance. The transactional exchanges appear clearly in view, steps from the nation’s financial center.
