Thence by descent
After completing graduate school, Jeff Burton was hired by Catalina Videos as a still photographer for their gay adult films and sets. For his Untitled series he draws from these experiences, focusing his lens on mundane objects found in the typically-unglamorous interiors in which these films are shot, rather than on the actors. The present work shows a disembodied hand (possibly resting on an actor’s leather-clad back) as well as a pull cord and the faint reflection of a human figure in the window at the center.
