Label TextZackary Drucker and Rhys Ernst are creators, most widely known for producing the Emmy-winning Amazon series “Transparent.” Their work is inherently political, but they shy away from didacticism, instead focusing on sexuality and intimacy. These works are from a body of work called Relationship- a series of dreamlike photographs that document the romantic partnership of Drucker and Ernst over the course of five years. The pictures were not originally intended to be displayed, but the two found that they gave a creative insight into the lives of transgender people. The photographs are meant to document the process of both of their transitions.
