Himeros - Jacob And The Angel
Download HD Video (601.0 MB)
This is a reimagining of the prophet Jacob and his date with an angel. Jacob is troubled and on a trek in the wilderness by himself when he falls asleep near a river. His sleep is interrupted by the appearance of an ‘angel’ and he wrestles with the angel all night. When daylight breaks, he asks a blessing of the angel. It is at this point that Jacob’s name is switched to Israel. There are many artistic depictions of this scene across the ages: the 2 bods are usually active in some kind of embrace, undoubtedly showcasing monumental struggle, but frequently frolicking on the intimacy of 2 bare (or almost naked) male bods in an embrace. Observe Rembrandt, Gauguin, Chagall, etc. Some sculptures demonstrate the angel on top of Jacob as if he’s injecting him from behind. The possible erotic interpretations are endless. In our version, Jacob and the angel grapple but the line inbetween fight and erotic craving becomes blurred just as it is in the many artistic depictions of this scene.
