Orgasm: Photographs and Interviews is a Daylight book and exhibition that involves participation of 25 women of different ages, nationalities, and cultural and social backgrounds who share intimate stories about their own sexual experiences independently and with partners. Marion Schneider interviewed the subjects and Linda Troeller photographed them afterward. The focus on young women’s first experiences is groundbreaking. The project’s website continues the dialogue on issues of personal liberty www.orgasmproject.info

“There are very few people who, in our pornified society, can visually capture and eroticize the female and feminine body without objectifying it. In her photographs, Linda Troeller captures the confidence, strength, and power in women’s erotic lives. And she does so without the usual trite and cliché images of feminine vulnerability and modesty and without the masculine gaze. Linda Troeller’s subjects, the women she photographs, come alive in her work as just that. Desiring and desirable subjects rather than sexual objects.”
Mimi Schippers, Associate Professor and Director Women’s Studies Program, Tulane University
