The men at Mitchell's S+M Clinic attend for simple medical check-ups but are gradually sucked into increasingly sinister activities. This picture shows a similar progression, as the patient begins to resist treatment and is strapped down and gagged.
He cannot resist or call for help.
What lies in store? An invasive examination. An operation? Maybe he is just being 'kept in' for the night. But his unclad - and nicely toned legs - tell us that the events and threats to come will have an erotic flavour.
This understated picture is very much in the 'mitchmen' vein. In Mitchell's Art semi-nudity is often used to signal where we are going erotically and male bondage serves to create a sense of helplessness in the face of an unknown threat. The Clinic setting conjures up the possibility of extreme and sophisticated dangers spiced by the remorseless and incomprehensible processes of an indifferent institutional machine.
It makes the conventional S+M dungeon scenario seem crude and artificial by comparison.
