Help with assignment on fetish
Hi I'm a photograph student. I'm writing an essay on photograph and the fetish - fetish in the sence that Christine Metz and Freud understand it. Not common place fetish.
It's more about the nature of a photograph being still and glossy and it's abilty to have realistic close ups etc and obsession and objectification and Frued's idea's about how the little boy first see's his mother has no penis and turns her underwear into a fetish.
I don't know if anyone will understand or know about any of this. But I need some credible images - not porn. I need well known art photographs who may use fetish elements in there work. I'm having trouble because none of the literature gives names, it just talks about concpets. Robert Mapplethorpe is the only name I have.
The essay is due on monday :P (it's saturday night here)
any thoughts/ names/ images would be of great help.
(I don't know if this is where this thread should go. mods, feel free to move it if need be)
