And though the live action is spectacular. This is striking because the photographs are not random snapshots but appear to follow the sexual encounters as their play out. This collection of stills also includes a DVD that chronicles the action. This is Stuart’s fifth book from Taschen and the common denominator throughout is Stuart’s powerful, unique, erotic style. Somewhere between simplistic X-rated films and pure eroticism, between trivial reality and abortive dreams, he seeks and finds a third way, the royal way. He clouds issues, confuses codes, disorientates and takes risks, all the while behaving as an artist who is exploring a new middle road – fusional, original and hard to follow, but promising. The overall impression produced by this work is that Stuart has introduced eroticism into pornography, or vice versa. A DVD, which comes with the book, contains several scenes from which the photos are taken, with extracts from the “Glimpse” DVD series and Stuart’s full length feature film, The Lost Door. Sex is more explicit, while retaining some of the mystery characteristic of erotic images. The photos “tell” short stories, like short films, and the models become actors, their movements caught in freeze frame studies, between portrait and narrative. In his new book, the fifth to date, Roy Stuart hones this exploration into something more forthright, close to film.
