Sophie Bew for AnOther Magazine wrote:Though it’s what lies beyond this initial reaction that reveals reams about human desire, not to mention engages a rich repartee between the two artists. “When I arrived [at the first subject’s house] I thought, ‘how am I going to photograph this man having sex with a doll?’” Dorfman explains of embarking on this work. “But in fact it was his wife who was the driver of the collecting. It was a woman’s perspective first – and a very smart woman. It was at that moment I thought, ‘this is so much more than I thought it was going to be, it’s just so much richer, so much weirder, so much more compelling, emotional and human than I anticipated’. Every man did have sex with his doll or dolls, of course, but that’s the obvious part. To me it was so much more fascinating to present scenes of domesticity because not only did I find that much more interesting but that’s an emotional and very ordinary way for the outside world to understand these lives and that these scenes look exactly like scenes from my life and from most people’s lives – it’s just that one is human and one is not.”
