Working Girl

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.

Sophia Giovannitti is a writer and artist based in New York with a practice invested in power, devotion, and manipulation. She works across mediums including lecture-performance, contracts, and video. Her work has appeared in, at, or with Triple Canopy, The New Inquiry, n+1, ICA (London), Blade Study (New York), Recess (Brooklyn), the Athens Biennale, among others.
