ok, first I'll throw out some ideas, prior to doing any reading on the artist or his work.
At first glance, this looks like a man, in a rather feminine pose. There is something slightly gay about it. Then, I see that the female body is like a suit the person in the photo is wearing. Like he wants to embody someone else. He wants to be confused with the woman. Or he wants us to be confused, sexually. Also, it makes me think about other people, and what it may be like to be them, to be in their skin. It's almost a literal interpretation of "I've got you under my skin". It's a snapshot of an ordinary moment in someone's life and we get to be in their life, in their body. It could be seen as a self-portrait of some sort. It could be saying something about how the artist views himself.
Reading this short interview with the artist,
Interview with Sean Fader
and browsing through some of his other work, it seems that some of my thoughts are not too far off.
The fact that he has worked as an actor explains some of the theatricality of his works. The clearly posed for photographs, where every detail has been carefully arranged. He calls what he does in his work "queering". Queering is about creating something different or odd, that is against the white-hetero norm. It is also, according to SF, about creating a more inclusive view of the world. I don't see this inclusiveness though I understand what he's trying to do. I think it brings attention to exclusion instead. Visually, I quite like the work. It's clean and sharp.
