I have also been intrigued by Freud’s ideas on the repression of sexuality and the idea of linking sexuality and sexual deviance to horror
Recently I have been inspired by Diane Arbus and her portraiture.
Benoit Paille is one of the main photographers at Rainbow Gathering every year. Above is his LSD series.
Kind of a long video, but very interesting… You can also watch individual segments of one artist that you are interested in

“What new grammars and logics do artists invent in today’s supercharged, information-based society? Why do we find comfort in some systems while rebelling against others? The “Art in the Twenty-First Century” documentary “Systems” explores these questions in the work of the artists Julie Mehretu, John Baldessari, Kimsooja, and Allan McCollum”
These are by an artist and graphic designer by the name of Lotta Nieminen. She is from Finland and is known for her illustrations. These ones seem very photographic to me.

Audrey Corregan turns animal into object with her photographs of stuffed birds from behind. It’s the type of project that makes you say “Why the f@#k didn’t I think of that?”
From Corregan’s website:
They are big, almost our alter egos. These imposing creatures turn their backs on us in superb indifference, captivated by a sight that we cannot see. With their wide necks and large bodies, these hieratic silhouettes fill the cramped space of the frame.
They offer us the patterns of their lustrous speckled plumage.
As in her previous photographic series “John”, Audrey Corregan photographs the irreductible opacity of the model, the way it resists capture in the image, resists being taken.
