Sensual Suprise at the Australian Centre for Photography

The Australian Centre for Photography is currently hosting a highly stylized, decadent, titillating show by Canadian-born, Sydney-based photographers Denis Montalbetti and Gay Campbell (you may remember them as the photographer team responsible for the photo of the X-Files'Mulder and Scully together in bed). The Sensualists sees beautiful bodies seemingly from the 18th and 19th centuries in various poses of wanton desire. Robert Cook, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Photography and Design at the Art Gallery of Western Australia calls it, "Eros at work, eros at play" and ads that there's is an art that "Marie Antoinette would dig, or at least Sofia Coppola's version of her." Stylist Cassandra Scott-Finn, a former fashion editor of iLove and Ego magazines is the talent behind the over-the-top set design, make-up and hair direction. www.acp.org.au
