Desire INC

Lynn Hershman Leeson &

The seduction by the media and the way they infiltrate audiences with ideas of desire that are then incorporated into our belief systems. Ideas about the female body as a site of reproductive technology and how primal erotic impulses resulting from early (unanswered) fantasy projections later become primary sexual motivations.
