Marilyn Minter — Bridle
Marilyn Minter

Bridle

A hyper-realistic close-up photograph captures the sensuous and fragmented details of a face partially obscured by a metallic bridle, rendered with Minter's signature glossy and visceral aesthetic. The chromogenic print, mounted behind acrylic via the Diasec process, intensifies the image's luminous, skin-like surface, blurring the boundaries between glamour and restraint. Minter's unflinching gaze challenges conventional notions of beauty, desire, and control through the provocative tension between adornment and confinement.

Medium
Chromogenic print, Diasec mounted.
