Pictures out of the American lesbian sex-underground.
Emphatic documentation (pictures and texts) of the personal
histories of individuals and couples belonging to a group of
extreme outsiders &endash; lesbian women that practice
almost existential and very tough body rituals. Security, a
feeling of trust and emotional comfort &endash; these are
things that these women can only find in a longstanding,
even lifelong community of like-minded people. Their rituals
of belonging leave traces on the bodies that - like wrinkles
- tell the story of humans and their relationships. They
create a context of security and a feeling of comfort that
remain frightening and incomprehensible for the
mainstream.
“This is more than just about sex. It is about social interaction, where trust and honesty are basic forces. These women subvert radically the ideal of twosome love, exclusiveness, codependent happiness by exposing them as life lies. Because of this ’Matter of Trust’ is a very exciting book …” (lespress)
