Joel-Peter Witkin

Joel-Peter Witkin Is his darkly imaginative photography an intellectually camouflaged freak show or high art? True perverts are born, not made. Those who are truly bewitched by a good/evil power play in their sexuality, those who have a deep impulse to stick pins in their scrotums and hooks in their nipples, or be mummified, tied up and caned by mean women in tall boots, are slightly different from other people. . .
