The art of eroticism lies in deciding how much not to show. Swedish photographer Eva Stenram plays with this concept in her wonderful recent series Drape, in which she Photoshops the drapes used in vintage erotic photos to cover most of each model's figure. The result is a fetishist's dream and an interior decorator's nightmare - disembodied limbs that focus the sexual gaze equally on the erotic and the macabre. Luis Buñuel would love it.
