Content

Subject: The book contains portraits of young women who were involved in the underage prostitution parties from Berlusconi around 2010. The portraits are images from the press either from internet or from printed media.

Photography: The images all seem cropped, only leaving the face of the women. Some of them look seductively, others don't. They are different in style. Some seem to be more snapshots, others classical staged portraits. All show artefacts from their original materiality (print).

Purpose of publication: comment on current political absurdity in Italy

Cover image: One of the portraits of the girls. It's the image that appears in the book on the first page.
