    <p>The text to "Object of desire":<br /><br /></p>

    <ul id="project-modules">

    <li id="module-144490665">For each “hunter” the object of his hunt can be different. The object of desire itself “tries on” various masks and “lures.” The object of desire may be filled with meekness and submissiveness which attract to itself, or with obsession and disobedience. It can promise us enjoyment or delight, but also hides under the “mask” of its play and can itself seduce in a way that changes the game. In such case “hunter” becomes an object of attraction. The object of desire itself also gets satisfaction from the process of this game. Our perception of the real object of desire is conditioned by various types of images, fetishes, and projections. In actuality any view, especially the view of the spectator who is possessed of an image, combines elements of passivity and activity. On the one hand, the object is an object of pursuit, and on the other is the subject of fantasies. The structure of the image reflects this duality: on the one hand, the contour of the image shows the point of view of the desire of the “hunter,” who tries to possess the object of desire, and on the other hand, the composition of the image does not reflect the psychological point of view, but shows the point of view of an abstract spectator or viewer who perceives the scene esthetically and symmetrically. I am interested in observing behavior and reactions. During the experiment I played the role of the “hunter,” and was surprised how the “object” went from a state of complete shyness and a reluctance to participate, to complete satisfaction with the process and active participation in the “play’ in which the camera acted as intermediary. At the level of the unconsciousness we know that coincidence doesn’t occur and the girl previously wanted to participate in this ‘play’ more in the role of a hunter, which required her to adopt the role of a “victim.” A person all his life wants something, struggles for it, and suffers because of the impossibility to get it. But what is that “something?” A person’s life runs its course through an endless change of decorations, and each new scene is a new desire. We spend our lives on the attaining of that which is desired, not noticing, that the object of desire long ago became something else. I showed this process through the female body, which is often considered the most desirable object for human beings. Valentyn Odnoviun</li>
