‘This was inspired by Hokusai’s very erotic picture of a naked woman with a small octopus and a gigantic one. I don’t think it was very pleasant for Charlie’
I found Charlie through a life modelling website, and it wasn’t until I showed this image to my PhD tutor that I discovered he is the son of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and kind of famous.
I have been interested in feminism and gender issues since I was young. I’m currently studying at the Royal College of Art in London. When I started there I was using Tinder for dating, and was intrigued by the gender dynamic. For example, how men would swipe right a lot more than women did. I started getting interested in the male and female gaze and thought it would be interesting to use the app to find men for my photographs.
