Title: a slash into the culture
Review: This book is perhaps more a piece of performance art than anything else. Not only does it confront whoever opens and holds it and looks, but it goes to the tenderest, most volatile part of this culture - sexuality - and compels response. The entries here in Amazon.com are part of the performance art, exhibiting the range of the dominant culture (usually anchored for security in terms from "porn" to "narcissism") as well as some of the dissenters and discontents. It plays with the form of "photography book" just as Bataille's Story of the Eye played with the form of "novel", with similar effect.
