The One Irreducible Truth About Humanity Is Diversity
paraphrases the findings of the great American researcher into human sexuality, Alfred Kinsey.
NOTE
Alfred Charles Kinsey (1894–1956) was an American sexologist, biologist, and professor of entomology and zoology. In 1947 he founded the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University, now known as the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction. He is best known for writing
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male
(1948) and
Sexual Behavior in the Human Female
(1953), also known as the
Kinsey Reports.
Kinsey noted that difference in human sexual responses was the one universal constant. Variousness was the only thing that could be said, with any certainty, to apply to all human sexual experience.
In paraphrasing Kinsey, the artist implies that ‘normality’ in the human being is variance, and societal pressure to conform to what is considered ‘normal’ is nothing more than a socially-inflicted hardship based on an absurdity.
The text is backed by strong black vertical lines which both obscure and reveal the artist’s letterforms. These uniform verticals evoke the rigid social structures that were questioned and partly dismantled by Kinsey’s fearless, ground-breaking research.
