ABOUT DESIRES & DEATH

Incorruptible Flesh, 2007
Ron Athey

"Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love."

"Man goes constantly in fear of himself. His erotic urges terrify him."
Georges Bataille


Ron Athey continues to explore the relationships between death and desire, sexuality and politics. After the incredible performance at Nancy (Self Obliteration : Double Bill with Dominic Johnson.
