“Interiors”
Essay on George Bataille’s notions of pornography and the sacral in relation to Nina Sellars’
photographs of Stelarc’s Extra Ear surgery, Bernardo Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris and
Perry Ogden’s photographs of Francis Bacon’s studio.
An unwitting allegory of post-humanism, “Rock DJ” segues into metaphysics as a commentary on the ascendance of a new philosophical conception of the body and eroticism more generally. When traditional forms of seduction no longer work, it’s “time to move your body”.
