Everything you know about sex is true.

Fuck'n'Buck

Liz Garlicki's Fuck'n'Buck series arose from an examination of conflicting single lesbian desires. The fear of being alone forever battling the fear of developing a new relationship. The Penthouse and Playboy centerfold images being a stereotypical "quick fix" to a single lesbians yearnings. While these images appear to be the perfect stopgap, they quickly prove themselves to be otherwise. An image constructed to be fantasy, quickly unveils it's self to be much less than the viewer had hoped for.

(...) The reconstituted image quickly exposes how little a sexy centerfold has to offer. The images are shockingly large, forcing the viewer to step backwards. The colours, evocative of child's play, are so bright that they make it difficult for the viewer to remain up close to the work. These elements propel the viewer backward where they must make a conscious choice to view the work. Therein lies the dilemma of every relationship, "should I stay or should I go?"
