Examines early practices of staged photography in visualizing queer
forms of relation. Â Body Language is the first in-depth
study of the extraordinary interplay between George Platt Lynes and
PaJaMa (Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret Hoening French).
Nick Mauss and Angela Miller offer timely readings of how their
practices of staging, collaboration, and psychological enactment
through the body arced across the boundaries of art and life,
private and public worlds, anticipating contemporary social media.
Using the camera not to capture, but to actively perform, they
renounced photography’s conventional role as mirror of the real,
energizing forms of world-making via a new social framing of the
self.
