Gender is an identity tenuously constituted in time, instituted in an exterior space through a stylized repetition of acts.

Photography has a relation to intervention, but photographing is not the same as an intervening.

Perhaps the promise of phallus is always dissatisfying in some way.

I'm no great fan of the phallus, and have made my own views known on this subject before, so I do not propose a return to a notion of the phallus as the third term in any and all relations of desire.

I must say, I feel the reception of my work is none of my business.

Intersectionality has made an important contribution to social and political analysis, asking all of us to think about what assumptions of race and class we make when we speak about "women" or what assumptions of gender and race we make when we speak about "class." It allows us to unpack those categories and see the various kinds of social formations and power relations that constitute those categories.

So there might be a kind of collective effort that allows for those risks to be taken, pose a certain danger but not a suicidal one.
