The Mystery of The Jorgensen Wall


above: Justin Jorgensen's wall from THE ZONE (click image to enlarge).

Justin Jorgensen did the design for this LA gay sex club called THE ZONE, and he did a series of blog posts about the conceptual and practical processes behind this strange assignment which i found to be pretty interesting/entertaining. One of them detailed how to do a wall with a contour line picture of a guy getting head, and it literally drove me crazy for MONTHS, because it reminded me of something, but i couldn't figure out what.

ANYWAY, today i was talking to someone about collage, and i was suggesting that they check out David Wojnarowicz, and then it hit me! that's what the Jorgensen wall reminded me of! Sweet Relief!
