Venus Inferred
by Laura Letinsky
Men and women tumble around together in bed, in underwear or sweaters or
nothing. They snuggle, look over each other's shoulders, in the mirror, out
the window. They're enraptured, annoyed, tired, turned on. Every glance
tells a story.
This gallery is culled from the latest book by Laura Letinsky, a
professor of photography at the University of Chicago. The book's title,
Venus Inferred, is a pun on the infamous nineteenth century erotic
novel Venus in Furs by Sacher-Masöch, from which comes the word
"masochism."
There are no physical restraints here — only that emotionally bound
look, the love-shackled glare of the guy leaning on his girlfriend's back,
staring hard into space. — Ada Calhoun
