LUSTED MEN Book

 One of my photographic works entitled “By The Lakeside I” from my ongoing portfolio A State of Bared is published in the book LUSTED MEN

Where are the erotic photographs of men? Once we become aware of this question, it is difficult not to realize the absence of these images in our visual culture. Because if women, their image and their bodies are too often sexualized and eroticized, those of men are rather absent. Another story of domination of the heterosexual male gaze that would like to dictate our desires and our representations since always! So in 2019, a small group of women came together around this question. Photographers, researchers, art workers, feminist activists, and they said to themselves that we would launch a collection to invite everyone to photograph men and explore the political power of eroticism. This year 2024, part of this participatory photographic collection is for the first time brought together in a magnificent photo book signed LUSTED MEN. With more than 700 photos, accompanied by a selection of testimonies, a manifesto of the collective, an anthropological study, a text retracing the history of the LUSTED MEN community and an afterword written by our sponsor @maiamazaurette. In short, the book Lusted Men is a feminist photographic investigation, at the crossroads of art, research and visual activism.
