About the Item

The Myths of Human Erectness explores the human body as both subject and object, interrogating the myths surrounding masculinity, erectness, and human supremacy. The male figure emerges as something between flesh and artifact: inert yet monumental, sculptural yet estranged from its own humanity. It becomes an object of value —cold, metallic, imposing— echoing the aura of a silver statue, simultaneously precious and unsettling. This transformation questions the inherited narrative of erectness —a symbol of dominance, progress, and ego rooted in the evolutionary leap from quadruped to biped— and the authority that humans have claimed over the world and other species. By reimagining the body as an object-tool, The Myths of Human Erectness subverts traditional visual codes of virility and power, inviting the viewer to reflect on the fragility of the human versus the object and the machine. Javier Rey photographs explores the physical structure and the possibilities of sculpture through photography. Metallic archival pigment print Edition of 3 + 1AP

"OTHER 50" Photography 60" x 48" inch Edition of 10 by Giuliano Bekor

By Giuliano Bekor

Located in Culver City, CA

"OTHER 50" Photography (FRAMED) 60" x 48" inch Edition of 10 by Giuliano Bekor Printed on high-quality museum-grade archival photo paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. Comes with COA issues by the artist. Men's - Other Series Intro This series connecting us to nature’s raw materials to create a piece that is organic and pure. We put on the mask and the headdress not to hide but to reveal ourselves, to give ourselves the freedom to break with taboo, to transgress, to transform. Referencing ritual and native practices, this collection pays homage to an identity built by reaching into the Other and imbibing cross-cultural forms of self-expression. ABOUT THE ARTIST Internationally recognized photographer, Giuliano Bekor, holds a portfolio that includes work from the realms of fashion, beauty, celebrity, advertising, and fine art. Giuliano’s photography has been featured in top publications around the globe, and his client list includes an endless file of beauty industry leaders, advertising agencies, celebrities, producers, and artists. With 30 years in the industry, Giuliano has perfected his craft to an exceptional level of expertise. Composed of light, color, space and form, Giuliano brings ideas conceptualized in his own imagination into reality throughout his work. Currently living between New York and Los Angeles, Giuliano is often on the move traveling for work and inspiration. Always the restless visionary, he ceases to continually express his fresh and nuanced style. For Giuliano Bekor, a photograph is an image that comes into being consciously, composed of light, color, space and form. Like a painter, he sketches, refining ideas through pen and pencil well before the shutter clicks. A camera is strictly a means to an end, a way of making a palpable visual record of an idea that gestates in his mind, gains shape by his hand, and resolves through his eye as it peers through the lens. His subject is the human body, almost always nude. These images delve into the splendor of the body - how it can express the inner meaning of who we are. Limbs, torsos, muscles and bones are exposed as though carved out of a supple, glowing stone that flexes and twists. Many of these photographs feature subjects posed with the eyes obscured, the face covered. If we look closely, Bekor says, we can see that the body is as much a window into the soul as the eyes. This is a gallery of the soul etched into the forms we assume in the physical world. Through exaggerated contrast between light and dark, smooth and textured, vaporous and tactile, Giuliano deliberately filters the extraneous. The camera captures the image, but for Bekor each exposure is a transformation - of himself, his subjects, and us. He is digging into uneasy turf, fraught with tension: masculine/feminine, heroic/cowardly, shameless/shameful, eternal/fleeting. The intensity of detail, the fiercely exquisite perfection of the bodies themselves, the unflinching, scrupulous engagement of the lens, negates all pretense of politeness. Confronted, we are summoned to look. So we must. And we do. And we experience the beautiful human forms we inhabit and the silent, eloquent language they speak.
