The collector of images: The substitution of the final transition. The greatest of all passages. But here we can feel free to dive deeper: We are obliterating sexuality by photographing it. We try to keep it alive by staging it, but only in its domesticated form. If we shoot sexuality in all its ordinariness, we do so solely because we cannot cope with its blatant ordinariness anymore. If we shoot it, we obliterate it. We have it in the can. In the dollhouse of life.
