Ghislain Pascal vocalizes ຄວາມສຸກຂອງລາວສໍາລັບການປ່ອຍທີ່ຈະມາເຖິງ, “ຂ້ອຍດີໃຈຫຼາຍທີ່ເດັກຊາຍ! ເດັກຊາຍ! ເດັກຊາຍ! ກໍາລັງໃຫຍ່ຂຶ້ນ - ມີພອນສະຫວັນທີ່ຫນ້າປະຫລາດໃຈຫຼາຍ. I want to continue to push the boundaries and prove that queer and gay photography has a serious place in the art market,” he explains. “With this edition, we are delighted to welcome new photographers from Turkey, Spain, Canada, and Denmark - becoming a truly global project celebrating male sexuality and fine art photography.”
It happens that Pascal’s inspiration towards the creation of Boys! ເດັກຊາຍ! ເດັກຊາຍ! Materialized incredibly organically, having previously showcased a very successful exhibition series entitled Girls! ເດັກຍິງ! ເດັກຍິງ! “I was looking at new ways of promoting my gay photographer Tyler Udall and one idea I had was to start Boys! ເດັກຊາຍ! ເດັກຊາຍ! Then I suggested to my friend Joslin van Arsdale Head of Photographs at Paddle8 that she should be selling more photography of boys on Paddle8 and she said why don’t I do it. So it all came together very nicely.”

Furthermore, Pascal is a gallerist, therefore uniting the book with a physical exhibition resulted as a natural progression, a concept that includes highlights from the three sales at The Hospital Club in London (ແຕ່ 28-30 ເດືອນກັນຍາ). This exhibition has untaken a sizable itinerary that will tour the world, the next stop after London being The Ravestijn Gallery in Amsterdam in March next year.
“The first two Boys! ເດັກຊາຍ! ເດັກຊາຍ! sales were not exclusively ‘queer and gay’ photographers” deciphers Pascal, “but I decided that it just made sense to really focus and promote queer and gay photographers primarily, but not exclusively, to a queer and gay market. It just felt the right thing to do since I am a gay man and as someone who collects, and something that nobody else is doing.” With there being a countless array of talented queer and gay photographers amid the industry, who despite attaining a desirable following on social media, in reality, they are still finding it challenging to discover an outlook in the art market. “It is great to put their work alongside gay photo icons like Greg Gorman and Tom Bianchi.”
Amid the pages of the carefully curated release is a dichotomy of photography styles that compliment a cohort of categories, from studio, documentary, ແລະຮູບຄົນກັບຄົນອັບເດດ:, ແນວຄວາມຄິດແລະຫຼາຍຂອງເດັກຊາຍ! ໃນການປິ່ນປົວຂອງ Pascal, ລາວມີຈຸດປະສົງເພື່ອຄັດເລືອກຊ່າງພາບ ແລະຮູບແບບທີ່ຂະຫຍາຍໄປທົ່ວໂລກ, ບ່ອນທີ່ບໍ່ມີນັກຖ່າຍຮູບສອງຄົນຈັບຄວາມງາມດຽວກັນ, ເຮັດໃຫ້ໂຄງການດັ່ງກ່າວເປັນທົ່ວໂລກ, ລວມແລະຄວາມເປັນເອກະລັກທີ່ແທ້ຈິງ.
