Relationship
Book (italiano):
Documenting a six-year relationship with<br>photos, video stills, letters and ephemera, this<br>book is a stunning, intimate, and wholly original<br>visual narrative by two rising artists who "put[s]<br>queer consciousness on the front burner." Male becomes female. Female becomes male. Life becomes<br>art. Private becomes public. A major feature of the 2014<br>Whitney Biennial, this series of photographs that the New<br>York Times called "extremely provocative" explores ideas of<br>transformation both physical and psychological. It's the story of<br>two people in love, in a culture where the notion of gender has<br>become more fluid and at a time when trans people have never<br>been more accepted. As both subjects and creators of these<br>images, Drucker and Ernst, both of whom transitioned gender,<br>represent themselves in the midst of shifting subjectivities and<br>identities. Collectively, these photographs, which have been<br>compared to the work of Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, and Cindy<br>Sherman, document the story of their romantic and creative<br>collaboration over a period of six years. Simultaneously<br>narrative and documentary, they touch on a host of dynamics,<br>offering autobiography as ambiguity and unraveling identity as<br>a construction.
