Haruhiko Kawaguchi | Flesh Love
The bizarre images of people huddled together in weird positions, in
vacuumed plastic wrap may look like stills from a a sado-masochistic practice,
but they are Haruhiko Kawaguchi's way of showing and preserving the love between
two people. His project, “Flesh Love”, is pretty straightforward. Two people,
usually couples, are “packaged” in a 100 by 150 by 74 centimeters plastic bag
the artist buys from the Internet. After carefully arranging their body parts so
he can get the best shot, Kawaguchi uses an old vacuum cleaner to suck out all
the air and make the subjects look like a pack of packaged meat you buy at the
supermarket. It takes about 10 to 20 seconds for hit to take the photographs,
during which time the shrinkwrapped couple has to endure the pressure and lack
of air. But it’s all in the name of love.
