|
Throughout his career Hirakawa has challenged the mainstream conceptions of sexuality and the assumption that expressions of male heterosexual desire are oppressive and objectifying. Interested in the divide between our outer lives and our personal lives his works examine what we do behind closed doors and what it would be like if we did them in public: "Although sexuality is non-institutional, it possesses at the same time a quality found both within and without institutional life. In our institutional lives, this quality produces division of the human being into two images: the one public and the other private."
