Lover Boys

Artworks Felix Gonzalez-Torres

An artwork that replicates the ideal weight of the artist and his partner who was dying at the time the piece was made. Visitors are encouraged to take a piece of candy as the pile should be continuously replenished. A metaphoric creation of the conditions for perpetual life.

Fantaghirò

Princess Fantaghirò 1991

Besides the fact that Brigitte Nielsen is starring as black witch, this fairytale series is pure comfort to me. A melancholic childhood memory. I also think I am in love with Romualdo. A pathetic, unattainable love.

One

"If it's all right with you
I'd like to stay here and love you
And hold you
At least until the daylight comes

And if it's all right with you
I'd like to think that when tomorrow comes
It'll be way too soon
If it's all right with you

If it's all right with you
I think I'll love you
If it's all right with you
I think I'll love you
When the morning sun arrives
Then we'll decide if I should stay or go

If it's all right with you
We won't think about tomorrow
Or yesterday
Tonight could be a lifetime

And if it's all right with you
I'll dim the light and close the world away
Oh I really wanna stay
If it's all right with you"

Exhalation

Noir Spring/Summer 2010

A melancholic haze wafting over porcelain skin. Light nightmares beleaguering the sleeping beauty. Writhing herself in sheets of transparent organza.

Stellar Vault

Laitinen Spring/Summer 2010

This is a sad boy's world. A monocular vision espying unrivalled beauty. Composed of inimitability and covetousness. His heart is struck by superbly constructed knitwear, consistently elaborate prints and highly impressive leather pieces. The boy breaks down.
