The aim of this exhibition organized by the Nordic Art Centre is to present works by photographers who choose the human body as their point of departure for exploring questions of gender, sexual identity, life and death. The bodies in these photographs become both a battlefield and a refuge--an expression of political opposition and a source of fantasy and dreams. This book contains sexually explicit material and is not suitable for children.

This display of 224 mostly 19th century photographs from the Moderna Museet’s collection of photography and photo prints based on art, is only the tip of a massive, still growing and largely unexposed iceberg, yet it gives a clear indication of the range and competence of the whole. Above all, the Desiring Eye focuses on the obsessive compulsion of the photographer to fix the fleeting, transient sensations of the world around him into some kind of chemical and artistic certainty. Throughout the entire history of photography from the 1840s to the present, one constant is the desire of the photographer to capture an image which works and exists at many levels. Included among many Julia Margaret Cameron, Nadar, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, etc.

This exhibition comprises American art photographer Eggleston’s production of color photographs from 1965 to 1990. A particular characteristic of Eggleston’s pictures is the fact that he often shoots from the hip when he photographs apparently chance pictures of the remains of a meal, a telephone, an unheroic landscape, in which the representation is completely independent of where in the world the photograph was taken. Eggleston is one of the first artists who has treated the color photograph as an independent medium and exploited the special possibilities of color photography. He refines and intensifies the color so that it becomes not only a matter of the color of the object, but of the color as an independent quality and carrier of expression.
