AT HOME WITH THEMSELVES (2014)
It is an outstanding project with cultural significance and emotional depth. At Home with Themselves: Same-Sex Couples in 1980s America — a series of intimate photographs and interviews, documenting the simple human truths behind the cultural complexities of queer love. After discovering her father's sexuality, the photographer developed compassionate curiosity for her father’s lifestyle and inner life. This is what Sohier brings to the many couples she photographs in the project — a kind of quiet humility before their love and unconditional celebration of its many dimensions, from the romantic to the sexual to the domestic.
"My sister and I began reinterpreting history and realized that somewhere in our teens the beautiful young women he brought out to dine with us were replaced by beautiful young men, each one introduced as “a colleague from my law office.”
