Through Craigslist, an internationally active internet network, performance artist Samira Elagoz arranges one-on-one meetings with a wide variety of men in three cities and explores how the camera influences intimacy between two strangers: the documentarian and the subject. The set up is simple – she brings a camera, and films how they get to know each other. Every encounter is real and unscripted. Weaving her own presence in and out, she becomes part of the narrative.

The power relationship between artist and subject, man and woman, seductor and seductée is turned on its head again and again, and because Elagoz refuses to editorialise, Craigslist Allstars becomes a confounding portrait of contemporary sexual mores, masculinity, femininity and everything in between.
