Download or read book Smudge written by Polly Borland and published by Actarbirkhauser. This book was released on 2010 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMUDGE is a series of photographs in which Polly Borland directs and dresses different models, among them musician Nick Cave, according to her own world. A world full of body stockings, rubber bathing caps, crotch-accentuating leotards, ping-pong balls, wigs put on backward - electric blue ones, blonde ones, horrid ones made of rusted steel wool. Borland manipulates and changes the models' presence through a highly original use of visual devices, costume and light, to produce an arresting and ambiguous subject. Whether they are the magnificent, life-affirming portraits or terrifying erotic distortions of strange creatures there is a deep love for the photographed subjects and the dignity that exists in their dysmorphia. Her pictures are never voyeuristic, never observational and never merely shocking. Rather Polly seems to be shooting into a distorted mirror and simply bringing back heartbreaking refracted images of herself. Polly Borland's practice was first established by major portrait commissions and reportage. Borland was one of eight photographers selected to photograph Queen Elizabeth II for the Golden Jubilee. Her work has appeared in numerous exhibitions. The National Portrait Gallery in London, and in Canberra, have acquired a number of Borland's photographs for their collections, and in 2000 both galleries exhibited Australians, a major commission and solo exhibition.
Download or read book Bunny written by Jason Beard and published by Other Criteria. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bunny documents a project by the internationally renowned photographer Polly Borland. This publication is produced in conjunction with the exhibition 'Bunny’ which will take place at Michael Hoppen Contemporary in 2008. It takes the viewer through an assemblage of photographs of a giant woman called Gwen that explore femininity and deconstruct the idea of the bunny girl of the playboy world. The book constructs the 'Bunny’ story with pictorial intelligence and an understanding of the full potential of photography as art form with narrative displacement and construct. Bunny also includes a witty and seductive short poem by Nick Cave, and an equally funny and eccentric modern fairytale by Will Self: "Well now, the bunny was a silly thing and not quite right. She didn’t look like a proper bunny, she had pink fur and her muzzle was sort of bulgy and cartoonish.”

Download or read book The Babies written by Polly Borland and published by powerHouse Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As perversions go, infantilism is little known, and even less understood. Imagine fully grown men wanting to revive their earliest days -- dressed in diapers, dipped in baths, and "fed" from breasts -- as a means to sexual stimulation or familial comfort. Now imagine trying to document this -- yes, that thought that just popped into your head is right -- and you have an idea of the Herculean effort Borland went through to grapple with and understand people with this type of fetish. Portrait-photographer-by-trade Polly Borland compassionately explores this surreal world, artfully framing the inner lives of adult babies alongside their outer manifestations. Many of these men -- who function in society as truck drivers, accountants, and teachers -- suffered as children and were left obsessed with the warmth and care experienced by other infants and toddlers. So they dress up in adult-sized baby clothes, powder their own bottoms, and...do what babies do, all in an attempt to recreate that lost attachment. And sometimes to get aroused.
Download or read book You written by Dan Rule and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You' is a new book of photographs by Australian-born artist and photographer Polly Borland. Tracing two distinct, however interconnected bodies of work, the book is an intensely intimate meditation on various states of love, desire and identity. The initial inspiration for YOU arose when Borland relocated from London to Hollywood, with its promises of glamour and its plasticised brand of beauty. The impetus for the latter part of the series came after viewing Museum Victoria’s extensive collection of medical equipment, restraints, clothing and artefacts from Australian psychiatric institutions. 'You' continues Borland’s exploration of the interface between anthropomorphic soft sculpture, the human form and the photographic image. In doing so, it puts Borland’s practice in an increasingly challenging, confronting and poignantly beautiful light. The book features a text by celebrated Australian artist Tony Clark.

Book excerpt: "A brother is as easily forgotten as an umbrella."--James Joyce, "Ulysses" 1918 Audrey Death--feminist, socialist and munitions worker at Woolwich Arsenal--falls ill with encephalitis lethargica as the epidemic rages across Europe, killing a third of its victims and condemning a further third to living death. 1971 Under the curious eyes of psychiatrist Dr. Zack Busner, assumed mental patient Audrey Death lies supine in bed above a spring grotto that she has made every one of the forty-nine years she has resided in Friern Mental Hospital. 2010 Now retired, Dr. Busner travels waywardly across North London in search of the truth about that tumultuous summer when he awoke the post-encephalitic patients under his care using a new and powerful drug. Weaving together a dense tapestry of consciousness and lived life across an entire century, in his latest and most ambitious novel, Will Self takes up the challenge of Modernism and reveals how it--and it alone--can unravel new and unsettling truths about our world and how it came to be.

Download or read book Forrest Bess written by Chuck Smith and published by powerHouse Books. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painter, fisherman, pseudo-hermaphrodite—Forrest Bess lived his life in obscurity at an isolated bait camp off the east coast of Texas. From 1949 through 1967, Bess showed at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City, alongside superstar artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Rediscovered after his death in 1977, Bess's small visionary paintings are now prized by museums and collectors for their primal beauty, and can fetch over $200,000 apiece. Bess's treasured canvases were only part of a grander theory—based on alchemy, Jungian philosophy, and aboriginal rituals—that proposed that hermaphrodism was the key to immortality. As an artist, Bess could never equivocate, and in 1960 he underwent an operation to become a pseudo-hermaphrodite. For the first time ever in print, Forrest Bess: Key to the Riddle combines the beauty of Bess's art with the drama and tragedy of his personal life. Using Bess's own hauntingly sincere words (in letters to Betty Parsons, Meyer Schapiro, and others) the book traces the life and logic of this forgotten artist and explains how a love of beauty and a desire for wholeness lead Bess to self-surgery and, ultimately, a mental hospital. Forrest Bess: Key to the Riddle is a fascinating look at one of America's most notorious cult visionaries—a man who truly believed that art could save his life.

While producing this commercial work, Levitt also pursued her passion for documenting American youth.

We Are Experiencedincludes football stars, tanorexics, wiccans, punks, prom dates, snowboarders, and baton twirlers. Levitt revels in the beauty of the age and its incomparable potential. She also exposes an advanced awareness particular to a generation. The notion of strident youthfulness was invented in the last century; today it is an understood quantity, a streamlined experience. Levitt's subjects are well-schooled in the expectations, limitations, and developmental strategies of growing up American, and have unparalleled resources to identify in a multitude of ways. We Are Experienced is a lushly stylized archive of the choices they make.
