In the third decade of the 21st century, we are witnessing an
unprecedented exploration of female sexual power, while on the
other hand reactionary cultural forces contrive to keep women as
defenceless as possible. In this context, the work of photographer
Alejandra Guerrero can be understood as a clarion call. Hers is a
rarefied visual art that marks a turning point for female sexuality
in erotica, her eloquent tableaux revealing the intricate ways in
which women exert their erotic power. Here we see a future in which
women dictate raw, yet refined desires. Each moment comes from the
erotic fever dreams of the participants and the desires of the
woman behind the camera. Guerrero grew up against a backdrop of
sleek automobiles. As a child she would sit in the driver’s seat
of her mother’s Mercedes and dream of one day being in control of
such an elegant machine. Her father was a mechanical engineer whose
hobby was fixing up cool cars, and she would watch him at work,
taking in the details of fins and fenders. It sparked a
fascination, which became an adult passion, which eventually
inspired an entire body of work. Auto Erotica is Guerrero’s
second monograph with Circa and follows Wicked Women down the same
electrifying road.
