The Wall of Pain, a collaboration between Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose, is a work of art but also the result of a private activity. It consists of a wall made of eighteen hundred photographs of Flanagan’s face, documenting a process in which Rose hit Flanagan with fifty implements. Using a shutter-release cable, Rose took an image of Flanagan’s face as he was struck. There are thirty-six photographs taken for each of the fifty objects. His face is contorted in each image, somewhere between agony and ecstasy. In this work we see the pleasure of pain.
