Aaron McCollough's Double Venus meditates on social politics, personal politics, and the exchange between them. It concerns itself with the many manifestations of desire circulating within cultures of plenty. In doing so, Double Venus also adds to a tradition committed to socio-ethical practice based, in the final instance, on love.
