Don't miss the opening of Yummi Yami, an exhibition by French artist K-narf at FB gallery.
Inspired by the true and fascinating story of Issei Sagawa, a Japanese man who engaged in acts of cannibalism while living in Paris and then became a minor celebrity upon his return to Japan, K-narf pushes the limits of how sex is portrayed in art—creating a jarring dialogue between images and the story behind them.
Yummy Yami is a series of collages—Diptych Photograffiti—made from photographs of window displays of old pornographic movie theaters in Tokyo and shots taken in French butcher shops. With the juxtaposition of images of raw meat and softcore erotica, Yummy Yami evokes the same discomfort as Sagawa’s story.
