A Sexual Unraveling

By Taylor Neal X BONJIBON

The Sexual Unraveling Project, a collaboration between Taylor Neal and Bonjibon, was a year long exploration of authentic sexuality, which takes the form of an intimate film photography series shot by Taylor Neal (she/they). 

With this project, Taylor set out to unravel the nuances and diversity of each human's unique sexuality when removed from the binaries, implications and barriers placed on our sexuality by the outside world; sexuality when given a safe space to be expressed authentically. What does your sexuality, you sensuality, your sexual self, look like when given the space to be unapologetic, raw, and real in its expression?

Through a series of 10 photoshoots with a diverse cast of subjects, Taylor used 35mm film photography to capture this diversity, witnessing as their subjects unraveled before the camera and sunk into their sexual selves with vulnerability and truth.

(she/they) A Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, writer, yoga instructor and frontline worker, Taylor strives to dive deeply into the endless complexity that is raw, authentic human experience. They are committed to an ongoing exploration of intimacy, sexuality, and how humans can foster loving relationships with their bodies, and they strive to offer this space with their teachings, art and writing. Practically, Taylor combines their background in dance and performance, their passion for the written word, and their curiosity within contemporary visual art and photography, with their studies in Communications, Art History, Feminist Theory, Design for Theatre and Fashion Design. Their cumulative work and practice comes together as a holistic exploration of identity, movement, sexuality, and how the embodied subject navigates space and the natural world.
