Indepth Arts News: "Tokoha Matsuda: Propositions of Desire - Contours of Erotic Ambiguity" 2006-02-11 until 2006-03-08 Buzzer Thirty Astoria, NY, USA United States of America
“In my most recent project, Propositions of Desire: Contours of Erotic Ambiguity, I explore the life-death-sex relationship with food as the dominant element. I have a long-held interest in "life and death," of which sex/eroticism is an extension for me. My feminist point of view is also reflected. Foods are basic to life, as one living thing dies to sustain another.
I use fishes, mollusks, meat, animal parts and viscera as death images, but they also evince in me a strong sensuality. In my photo-etchings, I superimpose raw food ingredients and sexual organs or pornographic images; and in digital prints, I examine eroticism in foods. Conflicting sensations such as amusement, beauty or disgust are evoked, as I embrace ambivalence and schizophrenic values within myself and my art.”
