I’D LANGUISH IN YOUR DUST.
Sex is both universal and completely unique. It is so personal that it feels like you’re inventing it. But often, photography about sex is clinical, to the point where sex is mistaken for a visual experience rather than a visceral one. This work is extremely personal, so each piece interprets emotions and thoughts as they are felt through my body. My goal is to express these experiences honestly and with vulnerability. Text acts as a memory catalyst, allowing the viewer to emotionally enter the work and recall their own intimate experiences. Bound together by red and the circle, the text is enlivened by photography, video, and installation, creating a incubator of intimacy and the transformative memory of being in love.

ALICE FELDT is an artist living in Chicago. She received a BFA in Photography from Columbia College Chicago. She works in a variety of media (such as photography, video, animation, and poetry) and currently is exploring intimacy and sexuality through the combination of text and image.
