Product Description

This is Mistress Rebecca’s account of having eight different submissive men make versions of Toulouse-Lautrec’s painting The Medical Inspection for Her using paint by number kits.

Reba Maybury is an artist, writer and dominatrix sometimes working under the name Mistress Rebecca. Her work explores the tension between her perceived strength as an object of fantasy and how through the reality of sex work she attempts to turn this power into something tangible. Much of her art practice is physically created by her submissive’s through her direction as a way to further the complicated imbalances of labour under sex work, gender and entitlement and an attempt to empower her further than the mens desires, leaving her with more than just a payment from them. Themes of capital, labour, sexuality, female perversion, desire, banality, pleasure, bureaucracy as torture and humiliation are essential themes to her practice.

From Paris With Love is published on the occasion of the exhibition From Paris With Love: The Book at Tiny Mutual Admiration Societies, University of the Applied Arts, Vienna, December 2024. The works had first been shown at Treize, Paris, in Nov.-Dec. 2022, in a solo show curated by Juliette Desorgues.
