[...] En Ballardian, nos sugieren otro tipo de imágenes que también analizan la sexualidad profundamente. Se trata del proyecto X-Ray Love (2001), del artista Wim Delvoye que invitó a sus amigos a pintarse con montañas de bario (el líquido que se usa para los rayos-x) y a dejarse fotografiar mientras hacían el amor con sus parejas en una clínica. Las imágenes resultantes son… sorprendentes. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } [...]

[...] Ballardian: In The Atrocity Exhibition] Traven explores what most people would regard as pretty frightening pornographic imagery; he explores with the kind of eye of a forensic pathologist. He treats sexual desire as if it was something stretched out on an autopsy table; he takes a woman’s body and dismantles it – not literally, but almost literally – and constructs a kit which is literally that. I mean inside of a suitcase, as you show in the film, there is a set of the key elements that we respond to when we become sexually aroused – a pair of latex breasts, nipples, detachable pubic hair… [...]

[...] “Normally, traditional sexual activity involves a sort of warm bath where physical activity and a world of mental affections blur into each other, and give rise of course to a huge number of problems. (…) He sees pornography, which is emotionally neutral — pornography is sex with the emotions deleted — pornography is a useful technique for exploring what exactly is going on when two people copulate, when a penis enters a vagina, when a hand embraces a breast, when fingers explore clefts (which are obviously geometric structures which powerfully cue innate responses laid down in the central nervous system a hundred thousand years ago). Pornography is a way of dismantling all the excrescences that have grown around this sexual activity at its most basic, and finding the actual sort of operating elements.” -J.G. Ballard, interviewed by Jonathan Weiss in 2006, commentary track on The Atrocity Exhibition via Ballardian [...]

Besides his dolls, much of Bellmer’s drawn artwork dealt with translucence; incredibly detailed x-ray visions of what’s going on with (& within) the genitals during the often disturbing sorts of sexual situations he was expert at depicting. Genital folds merge perfectly with internal organs during the sex act, etc… You can try to image-Google some of it but not much is available, I guess since it’s beyond explicit. Books are your best bet & there are some amazing ones out there on him. Or better yet, galleries (I’ve yet to see an original Bellmer myself but hope to one day).

Thanks for the radiographer’s perspective! Very interesting. I agree: not a very erotic situation for the models.

However, I’d argue that it’s more than a ‘vague’ connection with Atrocity, but a very definite one. Don’t you think those quotes bring the connection into sharper focus?

I’ve seen similar images before that were faked, but these actually do look like they’re real – I’m a radiographer, so I’d hope to be able to tell the difference pretty easily. As another radiographer already commented on the wordpress article you linked to, you wouldn’t find many people willing to stick their genitals in front of an x-ray beam unless it were for a pretty sound medical reason, not to mention the dose to thyroids, breasts and the lenses of their eyes, which are also pretty sensitive to radiation. Most of all I’m pretty shocked that they found a radiographer willing to take the images … must’ve gone private I suppose. You wouldn’t get that on the NHS, that’s for sure. Credit to the guy involved too – don’t think I could get wood when standing naked, smeared with barium in an x-ray room in front of a (presumably smirking) “artist”.

Oh, and just because I’ve got the knowledge to be pedantic on the subject, I’d just point out that barium’s not actually a liquid, it’s chalky barium sulphate powder that you mix with water to form a suspension, sort of like calamine lotion or some antacid things. Comes in strawberry flavour too.

Not sure about the “artistic merit” of the images myself, but they do tie in with some aspects of the Atrocity Exhibition … I suppose … vaguely … good excuse to post some mucky pictures anyway.

Those x-rays are awesome and much more worthy of Atrocity Ex than those Phoebe Gloeckner illustrations, which personally I never liked.
