V FOR VOYEUR
“Even if a subject or a moment is not beautiful, it is an important and interesting moment to describe,” writes photographer Marni Horwitz in her artist’s statement. Indeed, in some of her photos, physical attractiveness seems an afterthought. As in sex, it’s the intimacy of this series that provides the heat. “I never feel these images are voyeuristic,” writes Horwitz, “because I am always collaborating with the person I am photographing.” At times, she seems to be almost right on top of her subjects, or under them, an integral part of the action while remaining a separate, objective observer. “Being alone is an important part of sexuality,” she says. “It is where so much desire and fantasy grow.” — Will Doig

DOMESTIC BLISS
Domesticity gets a bad rap. The very word is almost a pejorative, a euphemism for “sexless existence.” But why? You’re right there in the house together — if the dishes are done and nothing’s on Bravo, chances are you’re fooling around. When you’re single, you have to go outside to find that kind of thing, and in this weather? Forget it. Susan Egan shows us the sexy in settling down - Will Doig

ILLEGAL ACTS
People are using sex to sell their political points more than ever before — fucking for the environment, fucking for votes. Whatever happened to sex as a method of pointless civil disobedience?
