life and career
Clayton Cubitt grew up in New Orleans and other places on the Gulf of Mexico and moved to Brooklyn , New York in 2000 , where he still lives today.
His first publications were in the form of the blog "The Daily Siege" of the culture / sex magazine Nerve . In addition to his first photos, mainly of scantily clad women, there are also texts by Cubitt on politics and photography. In 2005 he experimented with digital photo editing by applying particle effects to the recordings. They appeared in Metropop Magazine . In the same year he visited his hometown after the devastation of the hurricane Katrina . He portrayed the largely devastated area in which he grew up and its people. The publication as a blog under the title "Operation Eden" was considered by many reviewers (MSNBC, Rolling Stone, Life) as an example of urban photographic documentation.
In 2008, Cubitt began to work with the medium of film. He filmed people who were supposed to sit still for a long time in front of the camera. In 2012, this gave rise to the idea of reading young women from their favorite books in front of the camera while an assistant brought them to orgasm from below with the help of a Hitachi Magic Wand . The films were shot in black and white, show fully clothed women at a table and were hit on the video portal YouTube under the title "Hysterical Literature" with well over a million views.
In 2011, The Wire named Clayton Cubitt one of the 50 most influential people in the media world.
