Three Graces, 1994
SALLY MANN
Nan: So with Scopophilia, I did show children. But if you look at the paintings in the Louvre, we’ve got nothing on them. The children are naked and having sex, I mean, they are angels so they can do what they want…. So what happened to you with the family work? Sally: Nothing really. But it’s really tricky. There’s one photo that is so illegal, “The Three Graces,” it depicts a child urinating, my lawyers say don’t even risk it. Nan: Wait, I have a lot of pictures of children pissing. Sally: It’s illegal to photograph a child urinating. Nan: But it’s legal to kill a child outside of America. Sally: The thing about pictures of children is they are up to interpretation, but urination is actually in the statute. Nan: But that doesn’t happen in a private gallery? Sally: Yes. Nan: But it’s in London. Sally: London is worse! When you go over there, I’ll give you the name of my lawyer.
