The Column #2

« I just made a show of rephotographed pages from a magazine I bought at a second-hand bookstore in Brussels. I got a few publications there, each cost around 10 euros. All of them were sealed in plastic, so I could only base my decision on the cover and back. The edition for Giselle’s is a reproduction of the back cover of the magazine I used as source material for my exhibition at Pech in Vienna. On it, two male models are depicted in perfect equilibrium. This material feeds a very specific kind of desire: one that never leaves the realm of fantasy. The most exciting thing is not doing it. »
