Imagining Intimacy Screenings
What things dominate our first impressions of someone and how do we connect with other people?
Imagining Intimacy is an installation by photographer ROBERT TAYLOR
based on a sequence of short stills-based films that observe experimental encounters between pairs and threes of mostly gay, blind-folded men, with audio extracts from their reflections on their experiences.
There will be looped screenings of the films that make up IMAGINING INTIMACY:

What they said about IMAGINING INTIMACY at its November 2011 launch at the SHOUT LGBT Arts Festival in Birmingham
“Sexy, saucy, stylish, provocative, challenging, fun…”
“Some beautiful tender moments, visually and through the text. Great concept. I hope many get to see it (and hear). Enjoyed the humour as well. Touching.”
“Cracking”
“A tense and evocative installation, with beautiful imagery I enjoyed the honest recounting of the interaction, which started as uncomfortable but ended really intimately. An interesting investigation.”
“immersive and enlightening. Beautiful work.”
“Exciting, warm, soothing. Well constructed and intimate work. Beautifully photographed.”
“Strong yet delicate. Beautiful.”
“Tender and intimate. Beautiful photography. Very engaging.”
“Images were powerful; the audio disturbing.”
“The innocence, questioning and inhibitions of the models made the experience erotic but human. Beautiful photographs, done in a tender way. Totally connected with the whole thing. Thank you!”
