Sex: Take a walk on the wild side
Sex - Take a walk on the Wild Side looks at what is happening on the boundary lines between what has just arrived and what is coming next - and it does so through the eyes of 36 talented photographers who bring a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to their chosen subject matter and expose their work through every kind of visual medium. Fetishism, bondage and sadomasochism are prime examples of previously taboo areas of sexuality that are now being re-evaluated by mainstream society. In the last couple of decades, the depiction of these subjects has become of increasing interest to legitimate photography, and the effect of this has been to regale us with much better quality images as well as to remove stigma, both from the portrayal and from the interests themselves. Ultimately of course, it's all down to personal taste - it's whatever turns you on. Prepare to be stimulated, surprised, perhaps even shocked. Prepare for a walk on the wild side.
Photographers include Bob Carlos Clarke, Peter W. Czernich, Emma Delves-Broughton, Steve Diet Goedde, Alexander Horn, Christophe Mourthé, Martin Perreault, Trevor Watson, Jim Weathers, Ben Westwood and many others.
