After almost half a century, Among the extensive photographic archive that the Óscar Bony Estate ordered and classified for its conservation, 18 series of different iconographies were located that began to be called Eróticas, related to a portfolio of images copied and exhibited before by Óscar Bony (1941-2002), and which still exist. The pieces that are part of the current edition, are an almost unknown and unpublished, presented for the first time. The project was the outcome of the joint work of the renowned art critic Marcelo Pacheco and Carola Bony, daughter of the artist who died in 2002. The selected images correspond largely to explicit, marked, fragmented, hallucinatory, amplified, deformed nudes, broken representations that can be characterized between erotic art and pornography. The transvestites, gays and prostitutes who pose were acquaintances of the artist: they were linked to his life, to the night of Buenos Aires and to the universe of rock (Bony was the rock photographer of the time, he did the cover of albums and posters for Almendra, Manal, Arco Iris, Los Gatos and La Joven Guardia). "The Eróticas respond to a context where sexuality is read as internal and private, removed from society, the body enclosed within the representation in response to a reaction regarding public censorship, which had gained strength during the '70s in the wake of the libertarianism at the tail end of the preceding decade, when unity struggles for freedom for minority groups converted sexual battles into social revolutions. Following the phenomenon of sexual liberation during the '60s, spearheaded by gay fronts, during the '70s pornography and especially its mass distribution was seen as the coup de grace for morality and art, and the reaction was not long in coming." --Page 53.
