Discipline
Sex Lives of the Primitives
Discipline
is a project currently in progress, where each art piece is a unique, all-natural
sex toy.
Did the ancients have kink? Of course, though how they expressed it is mostly
unknown.
In France's Chauvet Cave, there is a carving, known as the oldest European art
so far discovered, of what archeologists believe to be a vulva. From the Venus
of Hohle Fels idols (35,000 BCE), to the walls of the Khajuraho group of monuments
in Khajuraho, India (built around 1000 CE), history sheds scattered signals
of mankind's fascination with sex. Though then completely natural, some of it
may certainly be what is today taboo. This series is an expression of what that
"some of it" may have been, as well as imaginative representations
of what sex toys may have looked like, during a time when humans used only nature's
resources.
