Photography is present in all the pubic and private areas of our lives. It is also found in seclusion, where it is  dark , where we shut ourselves off from society or where an act excludes society. Sexuality  as eroticism, desire, fantasy and fetish  is one of the central drives of man s thoughts, actions and feelings. Frequently though, sexuality is minimized, considered to be nothing more than lustful entertainment or dismal deviation. Body Pleasure / Body Pain shows photography as an important medium in the presentation of sexuality. Photography stylizes lust and passion, power, violence and voyeurism. Wish and desire enter into a pact with sexuality: sexual fantasies push to be presented, seek exposure  and photography, with its own voyeuristic pull, uses the power of (photo) eroticism for its own purposes. Body Pleasure/Body Pain presents this photography and discusses it in numerous essays. Volume 2 will be published in 2009. It is devoted to the photography of violence and disesase, those other central powers that can influence body and soul.
