In May celebrated photographer David LaChapelle unveiled his poster for Vienna-based HIV and AIDS charity event Life Ball. The poster, which features two nude images of transgender model Carmen Carrera, has stirred controversy abroad, with some calling the work "pornographic" and "degenerate." The right-wing Freedom Party of Austria has taken to defacing the poster wherever it is displayed and has threatened to sue Life Ball organizers.
"Life Ball invited me to make an image for them, and I had an idea to use a transgender model who still had her-- uh, I don't know what to say ... the political correctness in this situation will drive me crazy, and I don't want to just say 'penis,' but I wanted to use a woman who had both male and female attributes," LaChapelle tells The Advocate. "A woman with ... well, it's in Vienna, so let's say sausage."
"Sorry, I'm being silly," LaChapelle admits. "It's awkward to talk about body parts and stuff, so what I really wanted was a goddess who could project both male [and] female attributes. I called my friend Amanda [Lepore], and she said Carmen Carrera is beautiful and I should talk to her. She didn't know what stage [Carrera] was in her transition, and so I called her."
"It was awkward to talk about the specifics. I'd never worked with her before, and I wanted her to trust me," LaChapelle continues, discussing how he broached the topic of Carrera's anatomy. "It was her idea to shoot her 'tucked' as well, so we did that. The point [of the poster is] that it really doesn't matter what's between your legs."
An uncensored version of both posters is available on the following page. While the poster is certainly provocative, LaChapelle feels it has been unfairly denounced by conservatives. His frustration is palpable, as he sees himself as an artist watching his work be misinterpereted and censored.
