| Statement | Prostitution was site-specific made for a group exhibition | |||||
 |
called International Erotic. selected Artists had to | |||||
| present "eroticism" through their exhibiting works. | ||||||
| Eroticism is about curiosity and imagination, so is Art, | ||||||
| because the viewer, depending on different background | ||||||
| and understanding, interprets art works by means of | ||||||
| these two things. | ||||||
| By showing myself in the image, it creates an intimate | ||||||
| relationship between the viewer and myself. | ||||||
| I chose the floor location in the gallery entrance, so every | ||||||
| visitors must pass by and STEP ON the work - MY BODY. | ||||||
| Underlining the main statement of the work-"Photography | ||||||
| is a medium which especially concerns the 'gaze' : | ||||||
| who is looking at who and who's being looked at. | ||||||
| So while the viewers use their imagination on my body | ||||||
| in the photograph, I am the prostitute." |
