The artist visited six brothels in three different cities within the U.K. This container is a documentation of his experience. The artist had lived in each city at some point in his adult life. The locations of the brothels were close to the artist's homes, all on or near a high street. They were either, advertised in a local newspaper, clearly sign-posted from the street or found by a simple internet search. The artist went into the brothel as a customer, and he was allocated or chose the prostitute himself. The artist paid for a half-hour session up front, then when in the bedroom asked the prostitute to take photographs of him in any way she wished.

The artist had never met or discussed the project prior to the session
He offered no artistic direction to the prostitutes and they had no idea the photographs were to be displayed for this exhibition. The prostitutes gave him detailed instructions on how to pose and the facial expressions they wanted to capture; the artist only removed his clothing when instructed to, and the prostitutes determined when the photographic session ended. The photographs are displayed in sequence and have not been edited (the only pictures that have been taken out are those where the prostitute has captured herself in a mirror and she can be seen in the reflection).

Out of the six prostitutes half spoke poor English, or very poor English. Only one was a U.K. national. Many prostitutes create a working identity - out of fear, self-preservation and for the customer's conscience - making it almost impossible to gauge the truth.
It is often through a customer's instinct and action that sex slaves are freed.
