Un groupe de vers obscènes me fit hésiter (“A group of obscene verses made me hesitate”) is a project by Lausanne-based photographer Laurent Fiorentino:
These images are the portrait of a vulnerable masculinity. The calm demonstration of an alternative to the virile prototype. It is not a frontal political act but a discreet assertion of the right to show oneself, to assert the forbidden intimacy between bodies.
Laurent designed the edition himself. The typographic page is designed by Laura Csocsán and uses the Book weight of her Ambiant Sans.
