Artist Feature: Crystal Barbre
Crypto-Zoological Porn
Crystal Barbre is known for her sexually charged work. This series, which she calls “Magnetisme Animal,” features powerful women in the throes of passion, not as objects, but as creatures of their own volition, beings whose presence and engagement are made all the more potent by their crypto-zoological physiques. By removing human expressions from the equation, she allows the viewer to inhabit her subjects, and to experience her scenes in the absence of the social conflict and emotional turmoil so often projected onto “pornographic” images.
