WHITEPLACE_1. PART THREEAfter spending two installments exploring the universe of
Whiteplace_1 (白寺), we bring this series to a close with one final selection of photographs by the elusive Chinese artist.
His work demonstrates that eroticism doesn’t always need an explanation. Sometimes it is far more effective to suggest a story, conceal part of the model’s identity and allow a pose, a rope or a glance to construct everything else.
Whiteplace_1 uses fetishism as an artistic language rather than merely as a sexual attraction. His images are conceived as compositions in which the human body coexists with fantasy, performance and a certain sense of mystery.
Perhaps that is why we know so little about him. While other photographers turn their own identity into a fundamental part of their work, Whiteplace_1 disappears behind the camera and allows everything to unfold in front of it.
The third and final installment dedicated to a photographer who, without revealing much about himself, has managed to create an instantly recognizable visual universe.
