The show window of a certain art gallery. A woman outside talks to a man as she looks at a painting that is facing the street. You can just hear saying to her companion, “Isn’t this a nice painting?" And yet the distracted man is looking at a completely different work on the left of the photograph, which depicts a naked woman. Imagine you were standing inside the gallery at this moment, spying on the pair. Would you chuckle involuntarily? Or, would the thought of laughing alongside the photographer at a woman being ignored because of a nude make you feel a little uncomfortable?
