Just like his mentor Larry Clarck, Leigh Ledare deals with rather sensitive topics. After he made headlines with Pretend You're Actually Alive, a work based on the documentation of his mother's extraverted sexuality, he explores in this new project a couple's intimacy, challenged by a love triangle. 

Double Bind consists of two series of photographs, made during two successive photo shoots, reuniting first the artist and his ex-wife, Meghan Ledare-Fedderly, and afterwards, Meghan and her current husband, the photograph Adam Fedderly. This new publication is the occasion of a Double Bind exhibition at mfc-michèle didier gallery.
