Death






1. Vanitas still life & Givenchy Spring/Summer 2011
2. Hedi Slimane still life & Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2011

I've never understood the fascination for it. I am afraid of death. Who can take this fear away? Or is this even possible? Men in leopard skirt shorts might be a consolatory beginning.

Lover Boys



Artworks Felix Gonzalez-Torres

An artwork that replicates the ideal weight of the artist and his partner who was dying at the time the piece was made. Visitors are encouraged to take a piece of candy as the pile should be continuously replenished. A metaphoric creation of the conditions for perpetual life.

Artwork Victor Antonio

As part of our ongoing series, Victor Antonio has been invited to curate his visual perception of Lynn & Horst. He states: "I see a lot of parallels between Lynn & Horst, Kant and epistemological thought."

A Single Man










A Single Man 2009

The notion of loss. The notion of sex. Somehow every scene seemed to touch my heart. And I am not afraid to admit my emotional surrender. We all feel we are in the need of a reason in life, a logic sense, a destination. And we tend to project this desire onto a thing called love. Somehow we all fail.
