Marilyn Minter — Frostbite
Marilyn Minter

Frostbite

Marilyn Minter's *Frostbite* is a large-scale chromogenic print that exemplifies her signature style of hyper-realistic, seductive imagery that blurs the line between beauty and discomfort. The photograph captures an intensely close, tactile view of skin or lips pressed against a frosted surface, rendered in lush, glossy detail that simultaneously evokes glamour and unease. Minter's meticulous attention to texture and surface transforms a fleeting, visceral moment into a meditation on desire, consumption, and the fetishization of the body in contemporary culture.
