Walt Whitman / Paul Cava: Children of Adam from Leaves of Grass (English and German Edition) Details

Review Paul Cava's photography draws explicit linkages between the liberated sensuality of Whitman's poetry, the tactile qualities of the palimpsests of the organic and inorganic worlds, and the means by which conscious and unconscious desire structures language and perception. His work is an ecstatic embrace of both the Lacanian Real and its penetration into the Symbolic realms of language and phenomenal experience, the individual body as a yearning but integrated being capable of fluid identity and profound sensual union with the existences it perceives around it. Endlessly fascinating, touching on the border of the pornographic and erotic, eliciting the most liberating and terrifying essences of both kinds of sexual expression, recognizing also the role of time in deterioration and bodily dissipation. Perhaps the most affecting expression of eroticism's tragedy in contemporary photography. --George Hunka --George Hunka Read more
