He:/She: presents an imagined dialogue between a man and a woman, written out on index cards below printed versions of SX-70 Polaroid prints. The original edition featured original SX-70s. From The New York Times, "Photography View; Robert Heinecken - Asking Provocative Questions, " (June 7, 1981) by Andy Grunberg: In the'He/She' pieces the sexual content is mostly implied by the text, since only a few of the Polaroid prints are sexually explicit.
He' and'She' characters talk somewhat disjointedly about such matters as kissing and going to bed, but the main thrust of the dialogues is to explore what Heinecken has called'relational possibilities. The pictures, which often have little to do in any obvious way with the dialogue they frame, seem simply to offer a visual set of relational possibilities that interact with those of the text.
