Colt rearticulates the frisson of pornographic sexual exchanges, generating a caustic tactile convulsion that questions the confines of the body and its representation. Erdmann interlaces, or "weaves," as she describes, numerous porn films from the early 80s into a spastic installation. The fuckers sport cultural signifiers – plaid shirts, uniforms, weathered cut-offs – though quickly shucked, these articles convey the performative masculinity that these physical figures embody. Their eventual consumations come off like meaty rituals, almost tragicomic in the guileless, brutal thrusts of phallic bodies.

Deanna Erdmann produces work that traverses the terrain of queered bodies and classed Americana, of interiors and exteriors, and manifests from a desire to investigate and complicate these categories. Erdmann has shown widely throughout California and has contributed her photography to numerous publications, including The Advocate. She is currently the lead photographer at a non-profit arts center in Los Angeles that works to mentor youth in the arts.
