A letter-writing project by artist George Chakravarthi in collaboration with members of SW5, London's advice and information service for male and transgender sex workers.
To the Man in My Dreams is a collection of letters between someone who calls himself 'father' and his offspring 'George'. But each time they write, their identities change, their stories seem stranger and more unfinished. Is George more than one person? Is he a man? Is 'daddy' his real father? Is he alive now, or did he write long ago? Were these letters ever sent?
