Who we are
Lusted Men was born in a mailbox, on a Greek beach, in a small Marseille apartment, in a large Brussels flat-share, outside a London exhibition, and in a Parisian bar. The same question runs through the realities of several women who don’t know each other: where are the erotic images of men?
