Catalogue Note
"All these works are more than the stereotypes of pornography; they make us uncomfortable because they represent the visual compromise of how we negotiate ourselves as sexual animals and intellectual human beings...This interest in the way in which the model metaphorically seduces the camera is why Dumas has chosen to depict individuals alone, displaying their sexual attributes, rather than sexual encounters." Ilaria Bonacossa, "Further than 'I' can see," in Marlene Dumas, London 2009, p. 169
