The Memoir
by Becca Tzigany
with JG Bertrand
~ a Tantric adventure that reinvents our myths ~
Venus and Her Lover - The Memoir describes the tantric path followed by the artists around the world, revealing not only mysteries of the self, but of a deeper and broader reality. It includes:
Essays - selected individual archetypes and their re-invention in the project; sexuality and society; the expression of Woman and Man in a patriarchal world; ecstasies and pitfalls of the tantric path.
Commentary on the Process – narrative account of the authors' amazing encounters and revelations while producing the art and on tour with Venus and Her Lover.
Photo Shoots - dynamics of the original performances of the erotic scenes, upon which the paintings are based.
Photographers' Comments - original performances as witnessed by the photographers.
