Man Ray inspired book in the works

I've compiled some of the Man Ray inspired images and put a book together. I'm working on the finishing touches and will probably wait until January to get it printed. I will make a limited number of signed copies available that will come with a set of prints of some Man Ray inspired images that were not referenced in the Surrealist Erotica Man Ray film. 

The next Surrealist Erotica film I'm working on is inspired by Meret Oppenheim. Like I said in my last post, these take longer to produce. In the meantime, check out this post I made about my visual references for the Man Ray film.

 

Surrealist Erotica Series

After the Greek Goddess Erotica Series, I had planned moving on the Norse and Celtic Goddesses...but I'm going to let that take a backseat until I feel like I have the right props. Instead, I'm working on a new series based on Surrealist artists and writers. I guess technically some of the figures I plan on including are not part of "proper" Surrealism i.e. Breton's crew, rather I'm gravitating toward Bataille and associated people. If you've been following my work for a while, this choice will make sense. So far I have a Man Ray and Salvador Dali video up on Vimeo on Demand, but working on Bataille and Laure. Stay tuned. 

Ritual invocations of Surrealist artists and literary figures:

Erotique Voilée // inspired by Man Ray
Dream of Venus // inspired by Salvador Dali

...more to come...

(When the series is complete, you will be able to rent all of the videos as a bundle.)
