Adam’s Apple Possibly 1983 - 2008

Curator: Paz Errazuriz's photograph, "Adam’s Apple," captures a stark yet intimate moment. The image is part of the Tate collection. Editor: It feels raw, doesn't it? Like a glimpse into a hidden life, the monochrome adding to the grit. The figure's vulnerability is almost palpable against that decaying backdrop. Curator: Errazuriz's work often challenges social norms and explores marginalized communities. The title itself is a provocation, playing with gender and identity in Pinochet's Chile. Editor: Absolutely. And the setting—the peeling walls, the worn textures—it's a stage for a very human drama. There's a story etched in every shadow, wouldn't you say? Curator: Indeed. The photograph becomes a document, a visual testament to the experiences of those living outside the mainstream during a repressive regime. Editor: It’s more than just a document; it's a defiant act of seeing and making us see too. Heavy, but beautiful.
