Terror-World! July 9, 2008
Terry's world might be, hell, it's MEANT to be a little scary for alot of people! Not in the sense of depicting violence or even real depravity but rather its almost apocalypitc vulgarity. This collection of admittedly pornographic portraits depicts a world of modern urban-hedonism, where pleasure is about as romantic as a Tijuana donkey-show. People are puking, Terry pulls a tampon string out of a woman's vagina with his teeth, a guy pisses in his own mouth--you get the picture. It's garbage-world, but it's strangely arousing inspite of the yuck factor. The jury's still out as to whether it's art or people are just so jaded they're happy for anything that can jolt and shock their deadened nerves!
Terryworld is to erotica what Hustler was to Playboy. It's flat-out raunch. But with a fashion photographer's sensibility, which is to say that it does have some artistic merit beyond its novelty value. Perhaps just because the pictures are so situational. Think Tarantino with a still camera.
But just like looking at an old issue of Hustler, you feel kind of sick at the end of the ride. Your heart rate increases as you turn its pages, your curiosity peaked to see each progressing lurid spectacle, you flip faster and faster and then finally it's over, you've seen more than you can process, you feel slightly guilty, and you have a pressure headache.
I recommend it!
