Operating as a supreme statement of international black and white photography, this unique physical creation removes the distraction of color to establish an authoritative tactile dialogue between the human silhouette and organic geological weight. Cohete treats the lens as an analytical laboratory for sub-surface physical investigation, capturing a stylized male composition where two bare forms are tightly intertwined and folded into a tight athletic embrace. Pushed into high relief by a targeted, low-key lighting scheme that carves out the curves of the spinal column and shoulders, this calculated monochromatic spectrum mimics the rugged topography of natural hills, successfully transforming the flesh into metaphorical mountains of desire.
In this series of nude photography the artist documents how in the roar of the hills, these two bodies intertwine and connect with each other, forming mountains of desire.
