Notes

Forbidden City is a series of photographs Bourcart took with a hidden camera from 1998 to 2001. The artist describes the project in the following words: "In Paris and New York, I would, from time to time, wander around S&M and swingers clubs with a hidden camera, in pursuit of a dream of dissolution, harmony, and collective ecstasy. As a creator of illusion, Im concerned with truth. And for me these are places of truth, like mental hospitals and battlefields. In such places, reality is heightened - is sometimes violent - but human interactions are mostly tender and sincere. Strictly speaking, there is little in the way of purely sexual pleasure. As if, strangely, pleasure wasnt to be found where we most expect it" (source: www.jcbourcart.com).
