I have often referred to my one meter by two meter Polaroid images as Homo Baroque and Homo Rococo.
These works were sourced from collage maquettes that were made a year earlier while Roberto Pane and I were in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Under Argentina's military censorship, the only nude male bodies to be published were in sports magazines and in art history books.
This resulted in a strange crossbreeding of contexts. These collages, and the Polaroid works by extension, embraced the flamboyant, lush, sensual, bold aesthetics of the Baroque period.
This pairing of Baroque and Polaroid also existed with the seventeenth century artists use of the Camera Lucida and my use of the high tech / low tech large format Polaroid camera.
