Ryan McGinley, Moonmilk, Alison Jacques Gallery


The photographer shot caves in North America. The set reminds me Neil Marshall’s movie The Descent (2005). But this is a much more glamourous adventure. There in no monster. No one gets injured. The models could be Orpheus and Eurydice during their trip to Hell. As antique sculpture, they’re melting into stone. Hidden, they seem to be part of the cavern. But they’re well alive. Lit in vivid colors, red, blue, pink, the bodies explode in a pop sensuality. This is an awesome descent.
