Cut flowers are an iconic representation of ephemerality, the cycle of beauty and the process of death. Flowers and Tribes, two photographic series by New-York-based Travis Chantar, depict young, nude sitters adorned with ephemeral petal arrangements and body-paintings. I was interested in having a chat with him for three reasons: His work blurs the lines between fashion, performance documentation, and portraiture; he recasts the viewer as a voyeur of what seem like the intimate rituals of fictional tribes; he pushes adornment in a space that is queer, but only exists as a fleeting, fragile moment. He kindly agreed to answer my questions.
