Men Alone—Men Together is a major photographic and oral history project which documents the lives of 45 gay men — 14 couples, 14 single men and one trio. Large-scale photographic portraits taken in the subjects’ homes between 2003 and 2006 reflect the immense diversity of the gay world. These men are gardeners and jewellers, teachers and builders, priests and fathers, each with a story to tell of remarkable determination and courage.

Many of the men featured in Men Alone—Men Together grew up in a society that condemned homosexuality, and in which the expression of their love for each other carried the risk of imprisonment. Today, more than 25 years since Homosexual Law Reform, we live in a more open and accepting world. These stories, spanning those decades of change, were published at the beginning of 2010. Now, for the first time, the photographs are exhibited in their entirety.
