OTHER ROOMS

Other Rooms, the first publication to comprehensively feature Jo Ann Calliss mid-1970s investigation of the nude body and sexuality , is a revelation/ the work is provocative, seductive, and remarkably fresh. The artists playful, evocative use of constrictions an d overlays on the human form, including twine, belts, tape, and other everyday materials are both humorous and fraught, offering an intensely personal assessment of the variable meanings of pleasure, eros, and the female nude as a staple of fine art photography.
