PEOPLE 28:

JOEL HONG IN

THE WATERMELON MURDER

 

 

PORTRAITS • MAR 2009 • THE TAMARIND, KUALA LUMPUR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This second installment of the artistic nude series for Joel took a drastic change in art direction - from the colourful series shot in the sunkissed abandoned apartment unit to a messy, dirty yet kinky and fun food fetish theme, of which the symbolic use of watermelon as a tool for sexual gratification is inspired by Tsai Ming Liang's ground-breaking arthouse movie . This series is shot entirely with harsh flash.
