What was happening? You observed her a little, noticing that her hands weren't shaking anymore and she seemed less nervous now. She winked at you and nudged your arm with her elbow before walking over to the fans seated behind you. They were gorgeous, a shade of blue you've never seen before. She smiled at you and her eyes were lit up. It looked as though her hands were shaking, like she was the one that was nervous. She walked over to you and took a sharp breath, holding out the treats for you to grab. She looked around the room once more before grabbing her phone and turning on the first song from the album, passing out treats as you all listened closely to it. She explained what all was gonna happen how you were gonna hear the album and that she'd made some treats for everyone, and then later you'd all take pictures with her. She stared at you for a few seconds before clearing her throat, wiping her hands on the hoodie that was tied around her waist because her hands had suddenly gotten clammy. She looked around the room, smiling and giggling with all the other fans when her eyes suddenly met yours. She was in the same room with you, barely a hundred feet away from you. You were scared this was all a dream that you were bound to wake up from any second.īut then you saw the blonde hair and heard the familiarly sweet voice, the one that only talked to others with kindness and never spoke a hurtful or derogatory word. A few people were trying to make a conversation with you but you couldn't really talk. People around you were freaking out, some crying, some unable to comprehend what was actually happening because none of it actually felt real. She was supposed to come out any second now and your nerves were starting to get the best of you. You opened up your heart to Taylor long ago and for Taylor to do the same all felt so surreal. You couldn't believe it you were one of the few lucky fans who had been selected to go to the secret sessions and it all felt so surreal. This aspect brings to mind Robert Mapplethorpe whose photographs were also meticulously staged as well as characterized by an uninhibited exploration of the naked body and a penchant for the drôle.You sat on the couch in Taylor's living room. Furthermore and running counter to his intuitive approach to shooting, Hang’s photographs also embrace a certain kind of formalism, expressed most markedly in their compositional symmetry, which along with the expressionless models, both contrast and complement their sexually-charged exhibitionism. No matter how bizarre the concept is or how contorted their posture becomes and despite their nakedness, they retain a stoic countenance giving viewers the freedom to interpret what they see as they please. And experiment he does, constructing surreal landscapes and sensual sculptures out of naked bodies, limbs, plants and animals.Ĭuriously, the people in Hang’s photos never show any emotions. This also explains why most of the models Hang uses are his friends, with whom he can be more spontaneous and relaxed and with whom he has more leeway to experiment at his leisure. What the viewer might assume as provocation or lewdness is in other words the unadulterated self-expression of an artist. Nudity as a subject matter came to him naturally, “ I didn’t even think about it” he confesses, which explains his complete disregard of boundaries and decorum.
