Les Erotiques du regard is a frank meditation on the male gaze, an essay in pictures and a kind of concrete poetry where the typography has equal status with the imagery. Unlike many of the so-called erotic books from the 1960's, the "Free Love" era, Les Erotiques manages to examine the phenomenon of the male gaze, whilst at the same time doing the classically male thing of gazing.
