The publication POV consists of images of landscapes and human bodies superimposed upon each other, sometimes in a harmonious manner, sometimes dissonant. The page layout favours the dialogue between images, alternating between views of nature and body details. Certain images are masked by grey vignettes made of a film which can be scratched away. These grey masks, as well as suggesting the censoring patches of social networks, are a manner of changing the passive reader into an active voyeur. One thing leads to another; led on by scenes of deserted landscapes an erotic lyricism gives way to pornographic images.
