Dina Litovsky’s pictures study social interactions in public
and private places. In the Meatpacking
series the photos appear to be staged but they’re not staged at all. In this specific sequence of images, it shows
the excitement of night life. Being a young college student myself, it’s a very
familiar scene.
I think Litovsky is trying to show us how different things
are at night time. That none of the socially acceptable rules applied to daytime,
aren’t applied to the night scene. Litovsky is also showing us how the
Meatpacking Industry has a history of being a “sexual playground.” These
pictures basically show us how the freaks come out at night.
I like the fact that her pictures aren’t staged even though
the colors and liveness make them appear like staged photographs. The color is what
mainly draws me in but also the accuracy of the behavior in the scenes
themselves.
