QCA Art: Exterface’s Psilocybine

Psilocybine is the active chemical in hallucinogenic mushrooms and French duo Exterface’s photographs definitely make you feel like you’re under the influence. Their cinematic, erotically-charged portraits show men in a dream-like quality that is as alluring as it is overwhelming. Their latest photo series Psilocybine shows a very hot and bearded model enjoying the wealth and restriction as an idol. The odd blue and red filters also throw the visuals off balance, contrasting hard with and giving depth to his flat, soft black-and-white appearance. He also wears jewelry which oddly convey a sense of predator and prey, pop-idol and plaything, paramour and prisoner. No matter the answer, we like the result.
