following photo by krista beinstein, photographer and performance artist. her work aims to transgress norms of female sexuality as defined by impotent little men [i] through the centuries.
through sadean imagery, she presents women as embracing their sexual desires by crossing boundaries.
also worth a look in the context of french sextheory from de sade via bataille to foucault, is the french filmmaker catherine breillat.
sexuality is the key theme of her work, usually centred around a young woman surrounded by objectified men. it's in this scenario where breillat shows the young womans sexual transgression, breaking taboos via naturalistic and pornographic imagery. as you can imagine, the notion of censorship is never far from this.
gary sauer-thompson has more on her newest film.
