Octave Mirbeau in 1899,
Torture Garden by Rick Castro
features selected fetishized & homoerotic photographs from Rick’s extensive archives ~
1986 thru 2021~
"~Ah, yes! the Torture Garden!
Passions, appetites, love, glory, heroism, hedonism & ritual: these are its exotic flowers
and its instruments of eternal human lust.
What I present is no more than a symbol to me of the entire earth. I have vainly sought a respite in quietude and repose in my urban garden,
and I can find them nowhere. ~"
