Naples, late Seventies. Scandalous, indecent posters taken from porn movies suddenly appeared on the city's streets, then quickly disappeared, replaced by new images; they lasted only two years before being censored. Their focus was not only women's bodies but also, and mostly, male desire and the dominant macho imagery of those years. Marialba Russo was immediately intrigued and decided to photograph them, almost secretly at first, and her research soon became methodical, a systematic collection held together by an exaggerated, comical or tragic eroticism and a blatantly unilateral male representation. The work asks what it means to expose these pictures: a way to ridicule them or to amplify their effect, to de-power the ritual or to reinforce it. The essays push the reader to question the perception of women's bodies and the meaning of display.
