Oscar Bony: Eróticas 70’s centers on Argentine artist Oscar Bony’s photographic explorations of sensual imagery through his series Eróticas (circa 1974–76).

In his introduction to the monograph, Marcelo M. Pacheco writes, “The tool Bony utilized in elaborating the majority of his production was the camera, as a creative means of inquisition of the world, as a provocative generator of multiple views of reality. Nevertheless, it is a mistake to consider ‘Bony the photographer’ as a basic definition when naming the artist. His close relationship with the camera has always been a paradox, and so have the results, where development and copies were constantly manipulated and intervened in the direction of hallucinatory power (as in a world of hallucinating representations and forms and of creating visions) and potent image-production (images gathered by the gaze as it wanders and images invented by the city traversed).”

Oscar Bony: Eróticas 70’s was produced alongside an eponymous exhibition held at Walden Gallery from July 8 through September 25, 2021.
