pose as human
The focus of this series is the opaque and ambiguous nature of eastern erotic culture. Such as Japanese Ukiyo-e portrays female’s agile and flexible body movement as a way to express the admiration towards feminine body, and how traditional Chinese paintings and literature constantly use metaphors and implications to describe sex (drawings of peach implies male homosexuality, ‘rain clouds over Wushan’ and ‘two Phoenix birds turning over’ are all used to describe sexual activity, further examples are to be explored but not limited in The Mandate of Heaven: Hidden History in the Book of Changes by S. J. Marshall). Pose as Human series uses various food items to imply sex and sexual organs, celebrate queer identity and challenge the traditional oppressing attitude received by whom that discusses sexual needs.
