“GET OFF ON THIS” is a photobook that confronts the reader with discomfort and questions the line between pleasure and pain. Suggestive, playful and disturbing, it brings about the things we turn away from and force us to embrace or reject.
The body interacting with objects in unfamiliar, unsettling ways. Bare skin to suggest intimacy, contrasted with a playful but disturbing point of view. Direct flash, direct confrontation.
Stress, perturb, discompose. Become uncomfortable, question the boundary between pleasure and pain. Embrace or Reject.
Do we try to avoid certain things in our lives because they make us feel painful and uncomfortable? Or are we guilty of the pleasure we actually take in them?
People laugh at fools, but I was only being myself. I hid a special side of me because it hurt to let others see it. But now I sing for those who are pressured by the world, to let them embrace themselves, embrace the pain and to not be ashamed.
