READY offers an honest series of portraits around contemporary queer sex work, through the photographer Wechselberger’s own relationship to the industry.
Wechselberger writes, “When I was 18, I first received an offer for ‘pocket money’ online – for sexual services. Soon after, I moved to Berlin and immersed myself in a new world of dates and clients, many of whom became regulars. Through sex work, I experienced new forms of freedom. I reinvented myself. I let go of preconceived societal notions about how I should live my life. A central aim of this series is to re-frame how we think about sex work, and more importantly the marginalized individuals who choose to do it.”
READY is a project created through trust and community-building. Wechselberger connected with fellow sex workers around the world, from cities like Bangkok, Berlin, London, Mexico City, and New York, with the goal of celebrating a diverse group of individuals who share common stories and challenges, despite the immense diversity in their cultural, economic and legal contexts and backgrounds.
