Entre Chien et Loup (“Between Dog and Wolf”, aka witching hour) is an art book about sexual identity. While sexuality is an exhausted theme in itself, public discourses and general acceptance until this day of sexual desires are limited by considerations for “decency” or “acceptability,” or are reactionary or othering in nature.The book thematically plays with, and places its starting point at a schizophrenic, dichotomous and agitated approach of society and ongoing discourses in their address of sexuality and sexual identity. It examines the absurdity of perceiving sexuality through this social tug- of-war between sexual repression and hypersexuality, neither of which offer a space for sexual inclusion and acceptance. Instead, the project proposes sexual normalization. Its approach is to decontextualize, augment, and purposefully banalize the imagery, language, and materials of sexual “deviancy.” Each artwork is a bright-colored illustration of a different sexual desire, along with a small definition of it, imitating the style of Children's literature.
