"Power and
submission, control and dominance, pain and transcendence--these are the themes
that resonate in
these images of people in bondage paraphernalia. As Western culture moves away
from a community of
shared beliefs and organized religions, to a more antiseptic global society
something is lost. What is removed
is the sense of belonging, reflected in the loss of rituals. We no longer have
the clearly defined rights of
passage that provide initiation into a shared belief system. For some, bondage
becomes a new community and
a framework for new beliefs.
The work in Equal=Secret Identitiestracesits origins to religious iconography,
societal subcultures, and the
relationship between photographer and subject. Photography has always had the
power to reveal our hidden
selves. In these portraits by Josue Castro, the sitter's identity may be
physically hidden from us, but a greater
secret is revealed. Given the opportunity to choose from a selection of bondage
gear each person makes his or
her individual statement. Opening us to a lifestyle with its own rules and
defined roles, these images force us to
confront the true meaning of bondage, with its darker side of interpersonal
relationships and the transforming
benefits of pain.
In all of Castro's work his sensitivities are with culturally charged imagery
and indigenous protocols. His
artwork is thoughtful and intelligent, the result of his careful research and
his openness to exploring challenging ideas." Dr. Deborah Klochko, Museum of
Photographic Arts, MOPA
SD.
