Description

An exploration into the very similar work of selling art and selling sex, from a luminous new voice

Working Girl explores the worlds of sex and art, asking what happens when both become subordinate to the marketplace. In this searching and provocative inquiry, Sophia Giovannitti describes her own experience as a sex worker and artist trying to make a living and a life. Casting a cool eye on the contemporary art scene and a precarious work environment, she argues that we can find new ways to live and spaces — however small — of freedom.
