Ottilie Landmark invites you to a fundraiser weekend for her upcoming photo book, Anxious To Please.
The program will feature an exhibition in the gallery accompanied by a print sale and an erotica literature event with an exciting panel of cross disciplinary artists.
The exhibition will showcase a selection of prints from Anxious To Please, offering the audience a preview of the project. All prints on display will be available for purchase and you can pre-order Anxious To Please for a reduced price during the weekend. All proceeds will go towards supporting the completion of the book.
Ottilie Landmark is a Danish photographer based in London whose work navigates the intimate boundaries of sensuality, eroticism, and queer identity. Invited into private spheres as a curious observer, she embraces the role of an ‘voyeur’, delicately capturing her subjects’ vulnerability with care. Ottilie’s photography is rooted in a deep commitment to portraying subjects with nuance, sensitivity, and strength. Her images strive to create a space where those before her lens feel not only seen but empowered, capturing their individuality in moments of raw authenticity.
Anxious to Please is a photo book that delves into the unconventional realms of erotic desire, photographed by Ottilie Landmark. Through a queer perspective, it aims to highlight the deeply personal aspects of sexual preferences alongside the universal nature of it which connects us. The book combines photographs with textual fragments of first-hand conversations by Editor, Anastasiia Federova. It takes on seemingly fringe practices - from rubber or nylon fetishes to needle play - offering a tender perspective on kink dynamics. At the core of the project are 12 subjects I began photographing in 2021. Through their openness, the book provides a nuanced and multifaceted portrayal of desire, highlighting the vulnerability, care and trust which are an essential aspect of these encounters.
