Why are emotions so intrinsic to our humanity — like lust, desire, and attraction — condemned with the threat of hell? If these feelings are woven into the fabric of our nature, why must they be denied in the pursuit of heaven? How can something so inherently human be deemed sinful?

Alejandro Gomez Palomo continues his exploration into the intricate interplay between human sexuality and rationality, delving deeper into the realm of sexual expression as an art form and way of living. Following his Spring Summer 2024 presentation, which delved into the theme of sexual encounters within floral gardens, he now embarks on a journey to investigate the sinful conception of lust, desire and attraction within a heavenly space. “All Of Heaven’s Parties” is an imaginary construction that sets parties in heaven as a conversation opener on why everything that is associated with our pleasure and instinct is deemed sinful.

In his research, he uncovers the captivating work of Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, who skillfully blends the aesthetic of kinbaku-bi bondage art with sensual imagery of flowers. Through Araki's artistry, Alejandro discovers the realization he has been seeking: the ability to transcend mere animal instinct and elevate sex into a meaningful and intentional form of artistic expression. Furthermore, he merges these concepts with those of Helmut Newton, drawing inspiration from Newton's iconic style and delving into the glamorous and sensual atmosphere of the 1920s to explore silhouettes, characters, and narratives.
