Les Biches, Looking Glass

Photography as mediation of the indeterminate, interception of desire, absence, fragmentation.  Shot from Claude Charbrol's Les Biches, during the voyeur keyhole peeping scene.  Here, we also have fun with lo-fi imagery...and some negotiation of mystery (with uptalk)?  What is the crux of mystery's somehow-satisfying-but-not-enoughness?  Wanting moreness, unpacking WANT, un-packing desire.   When does desire pass from benign to malignant?  Would studying it help to find that border or only push it around painterly-like? Note the influence of Judith Eisler, who was a visiting artist during my 3rd year of undergrad.  Further than influence, I've lifted her process here and left out the "hard" part (the fun part!) the painting.  Ah, the thievery of photography. It's awful fun to go through Sontag and indulge in a little"soft murder".  Oh, also the femaleness--as in receptivity--of photography is an interesting thing.  So, its a soft power tool--the activated passive voice.  TWIST

Oh, and an article on Thomas Ruff's Pixel Series.
