The Last Seduction is a melding of photography and painting, re-envisioning a queer, people of color history digitally merged into the painting canon of the 19th century. The name of this project is taken from a painting exhibition in Buenos Aires in 2015 at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (MNBA-National Museum of Fine Arts). The subject matter is an in-depth visual portrayal of myths, fables, seduction, and betrayal, all within a plethora of female nudes. I appropriate these 19th-century paintings to use as the background and reinsert my queered, mundane, and fetishistic contemporary photographic portraits as the subject(s).
