Popular Post evolution 246 Posted December 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2022 The text on the wall for those interested. SEX BY MADONNA PHOTOGRAPHED BY STEVEN MEISEL CURATED BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO ON ANTHONY VACCARELLO'S INITIATIVE, SAINT LAURENT IS REISSUING MADONNA'S SEX BOOK, THIRTY YEARS AFTER ITS FIRST PUBLICATION. TO MARK THIS OCCASION, THE HOUSE INVITES VISITORS TO WANDER FREELY THROUGH THE WORLD OF THE ICONIC BOOK, BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN FROM IT. CONCEIVED BY MADONNA, PHOTOGRAPHED BY STEVEN MEISEL AND ART- DIRECTED BY FABIEN BARON, SEXWAS AN INSTANT HIT WHEN IT WAS PUBLISHED IN 1992. ALREADY AT THE HEIGHT OF HER WORLDWIDE POPULARITY, MADONNA SIMULTANEOUSLY RELEASED HER NEW ALBUM "EROTICA" AND THE SHOCKING BOOK, UNPRECEDENTED IN THE WORLD OF PUBLISHING AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY PACKAGED IN A THICK SILVERY-BLUE CELLOPHANE WRAPPER THAT MADE IT LOOK LIKE A HIGH-END ADULT MAGAZINE, THE BOOK HIT THE SCENE AS THE LATEST MARKETING COUP FROM A STAR IN TOTAL CONTROL OF HER OWN PUBLIC IMAGE, WHICH WAS UNHEARD OF AT THAT TIME. BEHIND THE PROVOCATIVE WRAPPING, READERS DISCOVERED WHAT ONLY FEW EXPECTED FROM A MAINSTREAM POPICON. ONCE AGAIN, MADONNA PUSHEDTHE ENVELOPE, SUBVERTED THE CODES OF THE CREATIVE ESTA BLISHMENT, AND BECAME THE UNEQUIVOCAL AMBASSADOR OF 1990'S UNDERGROUND CULTURE. UPON ITS RELEASE, MADONNA AND MEISEL'S SEX DEFIED ITS TIME AND BECAME AS MUCH A MARKER AS IT WAS A RE-VELATION. THE BOOK'S POWER CONTINUES TO BE FELT SEX REVISITS AN AVANT-GARDE AND PROVOCATIVE PUNK AESTHETIC, WHILE PRESENTING A FOCUSED CREATIVE VISION THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. THIRTY YEARS AGO, THE BOOK'S SENSATIONAL MARKETING MADE IT EASY TO MISS THE BREADTH OF ITS IDEOLOGICAL AND AESTHETIC AMBITION. TO-DAY, WE CAN APPRECIATE ALL OF THE BOOKS REFERENCES: FROM THE LUSH SCENES OF LUCHINO VISCONTIS •THE DAMNED* THROUGH THE NUDIST UTOPIA OF THE INTERWAR PERIOD TO THE TRANSGRESSIVE PORTRAITS OF ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE AND THE LUSTFUL IMAGES OF HELMUT NEWTON; FROMTHE OPEN SPIRIT OF FANZINES TO THE CAMP ETHOS OF ANDY WARHOL'S SUPERSTARS. MADONNA WROTE SEX WITH THE NAME "MISTRESS DITA", IN HOMAGE TO THE GERMAN ACTRESS DITA PARLO, WHO MADE HER MARK ON THE EXPRESSIONIST CINEMA OF 1930'S GERMANY, WITH THE PSEUDONYM, MADONNA INTENDED TO CREATE AN ALTER EGO INHABITING THIS ULTRA-SEXUAL UNIVERSE, IN THE VEIN OF MARCEL DUCHAMP'S FROSE SELAWY. LIKE CINDY SHERMAN, WHO BLURS BOUNDARIES AND GENRES BY PUTTING HERSELF IN THE PICTURE, MADONNA DEMYSTIFIES FANTASIES AND EM BODIES DESIRES THAT, AT THE TIME, WERE DEEMED BARELY ACCEPTABLE BY SOCIETY. IT IS FASCINATING TO SEE HOW SEX ALIGNS WITH CONCERNS CENTRAL TO OUR TIME AND ITS COUNTERPOINT MOVEMENTS WHERE WHAT WAS HIDDEN BECOMES TRANSPARENT, TRANS. GRESSION BECOMES THE NORM. PROVOGATION BECOMES AFFIRMATION AND ELITISM IS REPLAGED WITH INCLUSMITY. THE EVOLUTION OFVALUES ALLOWS US TO GRASP THE FULLIRONY AND POWER OF THIS WORK, WHOSE IMAGES - UNDERAPPRECIATED AT THE TIME BECAUSE OF THEIR PROVOCATIVE NATURE FIND A NEW RESONANGE IN A CURRENT CONTEXT, WHILE THE DEBATE AROUND QUESTIONS OF GENDER AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION HAS SHIFTED, THE UNDETERRED INFLUENCE OF MADONNA'S BOOK REMAINS UNIVERSAL AND UNIQUE. SEX ECHOES OUR CHANGING SOCIETY AND QUESTIONS THE WAY WE LOOK AT OUR FANTASIES, DICTATED BY MEN IN THE PAST THREE DECADES LATER WE CELEBRATE WOMEN'S EMANCIPATION AND SELF-AFFIRMATION WITH A RENEWED DEFINITION OF SEXUAL FREEDOM. heikeeduardo, Bjonkers, Frank and 9 others 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain but towards the center of the attached collage, you can see an unedited version of this pic. You can see the crane's arm that was edited out, which must have been stationed on the sand itself. M probably wasn't that high up and Meisel positioned himself a lot higher to achieve that dramatic 'above the ocean' effect. Incidentally, does anyone have hi-res versions of the below that leaked after The Great Hack please? It's high time!

They are all part of a loose narrative, I guess. I get what you mean though, and it's a good thing they took visual 'sex' breaks simply for art's sake because wow. theglamorous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
