Description

"Forgotten Desire" a NFT series by Teguh Ostenrik Kissing holds an exceptional place in our emotional life. It began millions of years ago as a result of mouth-to-mouth feeding. Humans began kissing due to mouth-to-mouth feeding between mothers and their children. This can be seen as similar to a bird feeding its young while still unable to do so themselves. Kisses can also be exchanged between total strangers, such as when there is profound sympathy or the warmest interest in another person. Ancient Romans used it as a sign of friendship, respect, or even greetings of the client's patron. Unfortunately, in some societies, kissing in public is considered taboo and inappropriate, and it's reserved for heterosexual couples only. However, a sexual tendency or orientation can be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, etc., despite national laws, customs, tradition, or religion. As a great artist, Teguh Ostenrik has the chance to see what others don't see. He reminds us not to deny what we don't want to see: gay couples' kisses. In a way that is helpful and respectful, the work of Teguh Ostenrik comes to defending the rights of minorities raised in that rigid and authoritarian society setting, often wrongful judgment and attacks on gay communities. (excerpt from Florent Stoffer's writing, Paris, 22nd October 2021)
