contemporary art, Félix González-Torres, oral sex, canibalism, desireAbstract
When a piece of art is as open and attractive as Felix González-Torres ones, it is inevitable to activate alternative readings at the same time and space in which the work is viewed. The omnipresent presence of desire in his artistic production, especially in his candy mountains', will allow him to offer new layers of meaning and to establish relationships between cultural acts (as vital as stigmatized) such as oral sex and
cannibalism. These elements also provide new permeable considerations in the work of González-Torres, such as the limits between the public and the private space, the politicization of the body and the rejection of the other.
