kore is a project which investigates the conjunction of sexuality with 1) the eye as purveyor of desire; 2) the sexual fear and fantasy of blindness and the blindfold; and 3) women and AIDS.  Can the blindfold embody a touch-based pleasure associated with female sexuality, in contrast with a vision-based pleasure assigned to male sexuality?  Could the choice to not-see facilitate ecstasy for the subject?  How does fear and fantasy contrast with the reality of vision loss in advance stages of AIDS?
