the thoughts you discuss in your post about taemin + the sensuality being torn out of guilty are ones ive thought about a lot too.

taemin is a thirty year old man and clearly either very sexual or very interested in the theory of sex and its relationship to art. framing and presenting himself as an object of desire has literally been his primary artistic concept as a soloist. he’s doing it on purpose.

also, i think stripping his work of its intimacy and eroticism denies the intellectual aspects of guilty and demeans taemin’s art and agency as a whole. he wants guilty to be provocative. he wants to make looking at the pictures of bare his skin and wet lips feel like a dirty secret. he didn’t include an image of his underwear lying discarded on the floor just so his own fans could yell that it’s not supposed to be interpreted as something sexual.

personally, i think there’s a real provocateur hidden inside taemin but he’s constrained by the boundaries of his idol image and what he knows fans expect of him and/or will “allow” him to do. i often wonder what kind of concept he’d be doing if he wasn’t an idol.

Oh, Anon. I couldn't agree with you more. He is a provocateur, and he's made it clear he's interested in the philosophical side of sex, eroticism, and desire. If he weren't an idol... well, I think I'll keep my thoughts to myself. 😅

Georges Bataille, whose erotic philosophy influenced Guilty, had a specific interest in eroticism as a pursuit that stares death in the face, moves through it, and leads to eternity and eternality. Although Bataille is sexist and outmoded, I think aspects of his ideas are interesting, like the bit I just shared. The violence that can be a part of eroticism is evident in Guilty.

The erotic is the violent and the violating in that work, and for Bataille, that violation is what allows two separate beings to unite and find life beyond death, a way to continue. You could see Guilty as the assertion of control over the violation and violence of eroticism, a mastery of one's own religious eroticism, perhaps, because Bataille says something really interesting about religious eroticism. He says physical and emotional eroticism require chance (ie. the luck to unite with a partner) whereas religious eroticism just requires one not to be disturbed. I've said before Guilty could have masturbatory themes, and isn't that incredibly interesting?

But I guess some people are uncomfortable with all of that and need to say it's not about what Taemin said it was about, and I do think it's in part because some people are hellbent on making him some sort of victim who needs to be quarantined from certain themes, or that his perceived victimhood must transcend sexual themes because they are far beneath these fans' interpretations of his work from a moralistic viewpoint.

The thing is that, sometimes, oftentimes, Taemin is just doing an exquisite demo of getting royally fucked in his art, and therein lies the meaning. That is the entirety of the meaning, and an entire life lies within that meaning. And, to some extent, it might be his way of inviting us into his eternity.

#strings and one by one are what I'm talking about in the last paragraph #not guilty #i just think these things are all related #taemin #taemin guilty
