Alexandra Gibson's Artistic Journey to a Oaxaca Slaughterhouse.

"Macabre at first glance but more intensely revealing with thoughtful scrutiny, the exhibit's photos pair live female forms with their deceased porcine counterparts in such a way that the two become indistinguishable. The monochromatic backdrop of the fully functioning slaughterhouse dramatically highlights the realist flesh tones of both hog and human. Occasional motions in her models, shown by trailing photographic ghosts, inform the viewer that her human subjects are very much alive amid stagnant piles of death. It's raw sexuality juxtaposed with unsettling morbidity."

"...In a society inclined to turn sexual mystery into erotic overexposure, Gibson’s black-and-white photographs catch seemingly impromptu acts of passion, giving the viewer a window into the emotional aspects of sexuality as well as the physical. Rather than revealing the entire body in her images, Gibson keeps the eye wanting more by having her subjects pose in alluring ways, while allowing faces to express what’s happening in a scene..."
