Sexy
No.1 Faces & Sexy
No.2 Xmas
(fanzine 500 copies each, 44 pgs, 12x18cm standing)
An erotic/art magazine
that researches
the boundaries of pornography
imagery in relation to Art. It is created, designed and published
by myself and
comes out in a limited edition of 500 copies, except for “SEXY
No.3”, which was a single copy. SEXY resembles 60s and 70s
‘girlie fanzines’ in its design, its overall atmo,
its print-work and topic, but it uses images of today’s cliché.
The first issue “SEXY No.1 Faces” presents a carefully
selected set of porn-film-stills of female cum shots. It also features the script of a 90-minute
porn-film. The follow-up “SEXY
No.2 Xmas” came out at Christmas’99 and featured
a make-shift striptease.
Sexy
No.3 Very
The special issue “SEXY No.3 Very” was made uniquely
for the exhibition ‘HIDDEN’ (Baby, Amsterdam), where
some 70 Dutch photographers and image-makers presented works not
yet
developed, works often still in photographic-film form. A buyer
chose the artwork guided by the name of the maker, the short description
of the presented work and the price. He also decided the fate of
the images by choosing to develop the film or keep it undeveloped,
in this way increasing the mystique surrounding the photo-works.
The buyer interacted with the status of the work and stayed solo
owner of an image that he saw even
before the maker did.
The
magazine is a non-profit project founded by myself. Its low
price is designed to reach a broad public with a ‘cheap’
image of high quality. |
