Placed within a site-specific exhibition design by Massimo Faion, Bart Julius Peters’photography evokes the same kind of sacralized desire awakened by sex. Much like the body of the main protagonist in Pasolini’s Teorema, the substance of his images remains just out of reach, never to be fully possessed. It manifests a muted desire that reveals the erotic dynamic of physical possession—one that alienates the individual from themselves. For over three decades, Peters has created images in which reality and fiction blend. The realism of his work is rooted in the history of sex cruising, personal trauma, family heritage, domestic relations, and the fashion world—particularly in the bourgeois fascination with a lifestyle that is often, if unconsciously, so like the generalized gay stereotype. In his photography, nothing is entirely real, just as nothing is entirely fictional. Bringing to light the moments where art history and social status intersect, his images symbolize the sublimation of human desire, leading his lens to seek out erotic energy in everyday life. In With All Worldly Beings, Bart Julius Peters, together with Massimo Faion, re-creates a domestic space full of ambiguity and carnality alike. The erotic tension that manifests becomes a possible way to relate to the world as a means of coming into contact with others and things beyond moral solitude and intellectual isolation. Or, on the contrary, as Teorema suggests, is it the remnant of the inexplicable sacrality of sex (and the desire to possess) that irreversibly alters the order of things, ultimately fracturing the bourgeois world?
