\n\t\tArt \/ Lust \/ Photography <\/strong>\u3009\u3009\u3009<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tSPACE 17 (January) features erotic art and photography. One of the forerunners in this industry is Terry Richardson. His works are charged with sexual tension, yet is regarded by the public as a highly-respected form of art. From fashion designers to President Obama, all were happy to be associated with Terry Richardson. His legacy tells the rest. Yonehara Yasumasa is another example of an erotic artist that has now achieved international fandom and prestige. The erotic industry doesn’t always have to point to sex and nudity, especially in Europe, Japan and the US. As a matter of fact, it is simply the opposite: An artist’s most intimate interpretation of aesthetics induces the viewer to look deeper into the boldness of his\/her work. On this ground, SPACE 17 introduces Maco Hsu, who has already gained recognition in cultural platforms on an international scale. Gamanians get to re-value what these topics represent when coming face to face with these very sexual images. It is not pornography. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tThe international icon, Murakami Takashi, coined the term superflat to describe his earlier works that covered sexual topics. Murakami is not an erotic artist, and not a realist, either. Nor is lust a prominent theme in his superflat movement. Yet it is almost impossible to not associate the visual impact Murakami’s art with erotica. This is exactly what he aimed to convey. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tBeing pretentious is one thing, not being it is another. <\/strong>
\n\t\tWhen a rainbow chimpanzee comes along, I would rather stick to an ordinary monkey. <\/strong>
\n\t\tHuang Hung-Teh (1956-present)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tLust is not just about Sex<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tContemporary artist Huang Hung-Teh expressed his view of modern art through these simple words. It is an old trick for artists to be “quirky for quirk’s sake”. Viewers often find themselves manipulated by edgy images that seem to have significance, yet they cannot related to. Erotic art, on the other hand, is much too close to the truth.<\/p>\n

\tIt challenges our ideas on “sex”. Since forever, nudity had been a popular subject in art. After the camera was invented in 1830, art and technology fused in a way it never had, and its influence went a long way.  In the 19th century, the demand for visual erotica exploded. The majority (of men) were financially capable to purchase such stimulation. It is obvious how a graphic image would be more enticing than words. From the lens to the negatives; the machine to the model… Viewers are attached to the image, and a connection stems.<\/p>\n

\tIt is impossible for an audience not to react to erotic art, because sex is something that you cannot remove from life. When the familiar is taken out of context and put in public display (complete with its awkward, crude or even shameful elements), something is always triggered. Always. <\/span><\/div>\n

\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tWhat Lies Underneath<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tErotic photography started in 1840 in France, a service to the contemporary patriarchal society. The artists take nude women, children or adolescents of both genders as models. \u2027The author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,<\/em> Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832—98), more famously known as Lewis Carroll, was also a well-known erotic photographer. During the Victorian age, where sexual repression was at its height, lust was associated with the young body. It went to the extent that in 1861 the England law sex acts with children under 10 were ruled as a felony; and with children under 12, a misdemeanor. This shows how common pedophilic behavior was. Dodgson’s work, Beatrice Hatch<\/em> (1873) portrayed a naked girl on a rock on the shore, legs crossed with her chin in her palms… This photograph alone demonstrated pedophilic themes, and is evidence that, even though the law forbade it, sexual fantasies as such was still a strong artistic motif.<\/p>\n

\tThe Dadaism and Surrealism movements defined most of 20th century art. All moral values, virtues and aesthetics were deconstructed thereafter. Photographers are keen to have their models undress– no matter to celebrate feminism, anti-war statements, or even just to tackle capitalism: the naked human body is now a weapon. It the perfect platform for voicing the extreme.<\/p>\n

\tDifferent from pornography and the exchange of raw sex, erotic photography implements metaphors and backgrounds. Instead of exposing, it suggests. Contemporary Japanese photographer and artist, Araki Nobuyoshi, often uses sex workers in his work. He captures their images on the streets of Tokyo, under cherry blossoms, or even when they are trying to stop a male client… You experience their lives in his exhibitions, as if you were in Japan. A good erotic photo is not always about sex. It stands for much more. It is those gray areas that we never focus on, those corners of our senses that is given a spotlight! <\/span><\/div>\n

\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tLust… is so much more than Sex<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tWith the implosion of media and information, digital impact is no longer a fixed idea; it no longer has a clear boarderline. What kind of emotion is brought out by erotic art, exactly? What is going through the artist’s mind and spirit when he\/she previsions this sort of image? Is it just a personal statement, or a fantasy that reflects universal desires?<\/p>\n

\tWe must ask ourselves: What is the purpose of erotic photography, and to what extent does it tickle the senses of the view and itself? Has it really scratched the spot?<\/p>\n

\tArtists can be as pretentious as they like, or not. The fact is, when they stand in front of a mirror, they choose to interpret themselves one way or the other. Is can be presented in many ways, and we don’t always need to define them. As a hybrid of the human body, commodity, advertisement and art, it makes its own way. <\/span><\/div>\n

\n\tSPACE 17 is a space for all Gamanians to exchange inspirations and ideas, as a means to mesh out better and wilder dreams.
