Guy Bourdin

i find his work quite peculiar, strange and off putting. for example the tongues in the image make me feel uncomfortable, which relates to the inside out project, as seeing that in public is frowned upon.
I find the bottom photo very awkward, because at first look i see the legs and knees , but at a closer glance i realized that it was a naked butt,  i also find this image juxtapose with each  other with the stockings (adultery) and the silky bed, against the plush light pink elephant (childish), this photo could have different  meanings for example, the person is a young girl (teenager) exploring adultery. or the phase of being high and hallucinating, and maybe to pay for the drugs, she could be selling herself for the drugs. or society looks down apon sex, so instead of showing sex they are showing a more subtle "sexy" item and the elephant is like the saying "the elephant in the room."    either way it feels very voyeuristic.
