Catalogue Note
"There is that orgasmic moment of explosion, that moment that seems to somehow repeat itself continuously in my work from the "Men in the Cities" on... that peak, that trapping... The image is like sex... or when you punch someone in the face or when you shoot a gun or see a flower open; it's that moment..." (Robert Longo cited in Exhbibition Catalogue, Madrid, Galeria Soledad Lorenzo, Robert Longo: Lust of the Eye, 2003)
