New York City, NY – On June 15, Guild Magazine was present for the unveiling exhibition of photographer Lex Barberio‘s new photographic series, The Ambisextrous. Held at the stylish ctitizenM New York Time Square Hotel, the event was attended by a vibrant and diverse crowd of guests which included artists and professionals from the fashion and entertainment industry, as well as activists of the LGBTQA+ community.
For each piece of work in the The Ambisextrous series, a portrait is presented highlighting three different exposures: one masculine, one androgynous, and one feminine. Printed on lenticular paper, each of the exposures seamlessly blend into the other as the observer’s gaze shifts across the image. The collection of images highlights the artist’s desire to expand the interpretation of beauty and promote LGBT+ acceptance through inspiring understanding among familiar and unfamiliar audiences. The result is a series that is not only transcendent but also personal and intimate, as we observe the changes that each subject goes through.
We had the pleasure to meet with the Miami-raised artist and discuss her vision, as well as her inspiration for this series.
