Tadej Pogačar in P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. muzej sodobne umetnosti se predstavlja z videodelom Zlati čevlji Times Squara, ki je del široko zasnovanega projekta CODE:RED: to je večdisciplinaren, večmedijski, kolaborativni projekt, ki problematizira in raziskuje neformalne modele ekonomije, samoorganiziranje, globalno seksualno delo in trgovino z ljudmi. Dejavnosti, ki so se odvijale med letoma 1999 in 2004, so predstavljene na različne načine. Delo Zlati čevlji Times Squara, ki se je zgodilo prvega maja 2002 v New Yorku, je le ena izmed javnih manifestacij v sklopu tega projekta (poleg tega še Pohod rdečih dežnikov, Benetke, 2001 ter Slačenje z Marxom, Berlin, 2002). Akcija je izrabljala akt hoje, ki je bila v tem primeru intimni akt in je bila vidna samo pazljivemu mimoidočemu, saj je bil akter stopljen z množico obiskovalcev in turistov. Obhodil je ves trg, pri tem pa na vrvici za seboj vlekel par zlatih ženskih čevljev. Lokacija Times Squara ni bila izbrana naključno. To je pomembno simbolno mesto seksualne industrije New Yorka, ki se je v drugi polovici osemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja spremenilo v simbol njenega kriminaliziranja in v začetku devetdesetih simbol njenega izbrisa.
Tadej Pogačar pa se je tega področja dotikal tudi v številnih drugih projektih, ki so bili večinoma izvedeni kot akcije v javnem prostoru. Ena najvidnejših je bil vsekakor projekt Kralji ulice (1995), kjer pa se je dotaknil problematike brezdomcev in odnosa do njih; podobno kot prostitutke je ta skupina popolnoma marginalizirana, odmaknjena in celo kriminalizirana.
