Sex: Fine Art Sexual Photography Comes of Age
Each photograph in Photo Sex is a representation of sexual activity
in some form. The activity shown in a given photograph may involve
a single person, a couple, or a group; it may show kissing,
dancing, touching, or sexual intercourse; it may be graphic
or muted, passionate, tender or humorous. Photo Sex offers both
an expanded vision of the nature of photography and an expanded
vision of the nature of sex. Sexual
Photography.
The
Passionate Camera: Photography and Bodies of Desire
The Passionate Camera brings together over fifty artists, scholars
and critics to document and celebrate photography by and about
lesbian, gay and other sex-radical artists. Critical writings
by authors including Thomas Waugh, Richard Meyer, Catherine
Lord, Liz Kotz and Glen Ligon address the importance of revisiting
the photographic archive to reinterprete early works by homosexual
photographers; engage with issues of sexual and ethnic identities
in contemporary photography, and explore the use and abuse of
photographs of sexual subjects in current political campaigns
and direct activism, from ACT-UP to Lesbian Chic. The Passionate
Camera documents both a history of queer and sex-radical photography
and provides a showcase for many of the most exciting and innovative
contemporary artists and photographers, whose work has been
inspired by militancy and mourning in the wake of AIDS and bolstered
by the growth of queer studies. The book features both colour
and black-and-white reproductions of important new work by artists
such as Ajamu, Catherine Opie, Lyle Ashton Harris, Yasumasa
Morimura, John O'Reilly and Sunil Gupta. For the first time,
these artists are brought together in a lucid and accessible
critical context, making The Passionate Camera the pre-eminent
source of queer and sex-radical photography at the end of the
20th century. Essayists - Deborah Bright, Kaucyila Brooke, Michael
Anton Budd, David Deitcher, Linda Dittmar, Mark Alice Durant,
Paul B. Franklin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Thomas Allan Harris, Carol
Jacobson.
