Heroin Chic, Crack Whores, Real Vampire Porn and More Scary Erotic Photography From R.C. Horsch

Posted in Bizarre, Art and Erotica, WTF?, Fetish on October 11, 2007

I’m not easily shocked, but the photography of R. C. Horsch actually give me the willies. His subject matter ranges from glam/babe stuff to some really disturbing imagery. If you thought Larry Clark’s Tulsa was disturbing, or if you found it erotic, whichever, take a look at Horsch’s (or Hoersch’s - no umlauts in my keyboard) work.

The scariest pics on the site are the ones of crack whores and heroin addicts. Personally I think drugs are disgusting and heroin is the worst one. It is also one of the most un-erotic drugs you can possibly get your hands on because you spend most of your time vomiting, sleeping and copping; it kills your sex drive and you can literally go for years without fucking if you don’t die first. So with these photos, do you find them arousing or repulsive? I am sure some folks would say arousing.

I think that objectively, Clark is most likely a better photographer. What’s interesting in the comparison is that while Clark puts superficial claims of being a cultural anthropologist or whatever, we know he enjoys shooting and looking at teen smut much like Pasolini probably actually enjoyed the coprophilia scenes in Salo but decided to call it a metaphor for Fascist Italy. Horsch is a little more complicated. He doesn’t reveal himself too much but he also makes no pretense to distance himself from finding this disturbing imagery erotic. Anyway, you check it out. If you’re brave.

I’d have to agree with you about the Horsch heroin gallery. In no way can I find it erotic or sexy to see pictures of smack heads shooting up, etc. In fact, it’s a gigantic bummer.
