Photography: 'Explosion of colorful eroticism'
The sideshow is a hot ticket. Camp photographs of homoerotic subjects by James Bidgood are diverting visitors to the Ted Kincaid show at Marty Walker Gallery. Now 72, the New York set designer practically invented the over-the-top, in-your-face style popularized by David LaChapelle, who hadn't even been born when the four pictures displayed here (including Pan, above) were made. Lacking today's technological advances, Mr. Bidgood staged scenes of beautiful young men in fantastic poses in his tiny one-bedroom apartment. Each set was created from scratch, using makeshift materials such as crumpled tissue paper or foil, then torn down to make room for the next. Far from famous in an era when homoerotic subjects were relegated to underground magazines, Mr. Bidgood has seen a resurgence of interest in his work in recent years. Taschen published a book of his photos in 2002, and he's now recognized as the anonymous filmmaker of Pink Narcissus (1971), described by Ms. Walker's gallery as "an explosion of colorful eroticism that has stood the test of time."
