I am thinking of adding an alpha channel ghost like image to the marina
photo series of a dead fish I caught with my fishing rod and as such
died. So I photographed it. I am very aware of the sexist notion of fish
and esp dead fish, which would be misogyny. It seems to me this may
allow a mimesis immanent critique of sexism...
I come from that political background in gay liberation which was
militantly opposed to the misogyny expressed by some earlier gay rights
politics such as Camp, in Sydney. For me, there can be no gay liberation
without women's liberation and lesbians are vitally essential to gay
liberation.
Comments on this idea are most welcome... dead fish mimesis the crisis
of AIDS and dead gay men.... (why am I still alive?)
