Here is my attempt to (visually) create (an)other orifices, which is not mouth, is not vagina, or anus, it is other. Images were torn from magazines, placed in a vitrine deconstructed and then recomposed, parts of vitrine were photographed to make new images.
Contents of the vitrine include: Cut up Penthouse magazines, cut up Playboys, Oui’s, and Adult Entertainment News. Images from Steven Meisel’s “Asexual Revolution” campaign for W magazine circa 2004.
A copy of “Transvestian” magazine date unknown. A copy of “Feminine Illusions” magazine date unknown. An Interview Magazine circa 1986 with Grace Jones on the cover and a quote from her that says: “The future is no sex…you can be a boy, a girl whatever you want. I have a lot of man in me.”
Porn’s dichotomy/ capitalism’s oedipal distinctions and commodification of the body (as literalized in pornography) = vagina/penis ass/penis penis/mouth — money shot hold no importance here. An Orgasm is not a product, and sensuality cannot be sold (even with a $29.95/month all access pass). Sexuality is far more complex than what easily digested dichotomies tell us. I have an ass yes, and a vagina. Penis, maybe. I also have 2 eyes, underarms, and toes. I am many holes.
