  • Transit

    Undressing the human body either exposes a person to degradation or prepares him for beatification. The nude in western imagery draws a great deal of its power from the story of the passion and the image of Mary, and eroticism involves a transit between dressing and undressing in a world in which a god has become sexed. Transit is a series of 16 mm experiments in film documentation. The first of its three primary performances concerns the nude, the second blood sacrifice, and the last the passion of Christ.
