Wedding Night is a reflection on and rebellion against heterosexual love. Usually, when people think of wedding nights, they associate them with a union between a man and a woman. However, in Wedding Night, the artist presents the viewer with mirror image photographs of connected body parts. These photographs possess sexual elements but are also filled with an atmosphere of fear, stemming from the absence of the male body on this woman’s wedding night. The parts that seem to represent the male are merely illusions produced by merging two mirror images of the woman’s body into one. Through the manipulation of these mirror images, the work completes an act of self-pleasure. This work reveals a strong affiliation with queer art in its subversion of heterosexual marriage and represents a significant advancement in the discourse on sexuality in art.
