Quell'instabile oggetto del desiderio: l'immaginario del seno femminile nella fotografia d'autore

Of the many myths abound in contemporary society the female breast has been one of those most open to discussion. An object of femininity, the breast is a topical subject that oversteps the borders of its original function — to nurture — into the purely aesthetic; and the latter continues to dominate. The photographs in this book are insightful and provocative; past photographs of the breast have tended to linger on the aesthetic nude, this book instead focuses on the veiled breast — so much more stimulating to the imagination.
