Batts' style lies somewhere in the chasm between fetish and gothic
photography, and yet it is unlike either of these two genres. It is
something entirely original to Carlos Batts and something that
Arthur Rimbaud might accomplish were he raised from the dead,
trained in the art of color photography, and forced to wear a
walkman blaring Trent Reznor's "Head Like a Hole" over and
over again.
His latest book, Crazy Sexy Hollywood is crafted in the
classic Batts tradition and is cram-packed with imagery so offbeat,
so flavorful, so amazingly hypnotic that it is sure to equal the
success of his first book, Wild Skin. As noted by publisher
Matthias Reuss, "Batts transports us to a Hollywood fraught
with erotic contrasts, exciting bikini-clad girls, nude devils,
gorgeous transvestites, and shameless exhibitionists. Many of his
creative ideas are downright attacks against the conformist,
bourgeois tastes of the conservative masses. This book is for
everyone who's open and uninhibited, and who occasionally enjoys
seeing eroticism in the arts as an explosive mixture."
