Brad Phillips - Honeymoon Rehearsal
In making the work for this show, I thought about Nobuyoshi Araki, who is known for his very sexual photographs of various Japanese women in the sex trade. Or photos that depict his own sexual interests. But the work of his that I like, and that I felt had a relationship to what I’m trying to do were the books Sentimental Journey and Winter Journey - the first depicts his honeymoon with his wife, and the second documents her dying, which happened fairly quickly after they were married. The books are sexual in parts, but fundamentally they’re about intimacy, the intimacy of sex and the intimacy of death. Things that make the audience uncomfortable at times.
No one ever said that the audience is supposed to be comfortable.
