Metamorphic Genitalia and Fantastical Sexual Images is a book proposal by Paul Rumsey. It features grotesque, fantastic, surreal and comic images of genitalia from all cultures, including Roman, Japanese and right up to Symbolism, Surrealism, Crumb, Ero guro and film.
As these images are not of real things they are each symbolic and mean very different things, some erotic, others religious, political, comic, etc. The book would not have any images of the real human form, only those that are metamorphosed in some way...so a lot of anthropomorphic genital images. Mostly these will be phallic images, but there are a lot of vulva images also.
The works will be classified by the type of distortion, the way they differ from reality. (a single image may have more than one method of distortion)
Contents |
Distortion of scale
All images of men with huge phallus, enlarged beyond the possible, from Roman art, Japanese art, Beardsley, Kubin, Crumb etc.
Separation
The phallus seperated from the figure, carried in procession, lying on a beach (A Witch Riding on a Phallus, Le Phallus phénoménal by Denon, The Triumph of the Phallus, etc.).
- Work 219: Landscape XX by H. R. Giger
Animation
The phallus bought to life as a living creature, the phallus with legs.
Hybrid phallus
A phallus with wings, the legs of various animals etc.
Multiplied
The phallic creature with more than one head, (phallic Hydra), or with a phallus of its own. Also multiple breasts.
Substitution or replacement
The phallus in place of nose, horns, tail, or replacing an object in the world, like an arrow, spear, missile, etc.
Compilation
Those Arcimboldo type heads etc.
Projection
The world takes on a sexual form, landscape like a giant woman, Hogarth's cottage, Masson drawings, etc.
