Bob Carlos Clarke

"Elegantly handsome and acerbically erudite" photographer and visual provocateur Bob Carlos Clarke's current exhibition at London's Eyestorm Gallery is called "Real Love Dolls Never Die", but we're having a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality in his haunting and sexy portraits of latex- and lingerie-clad flesh-and-blood models (or are they simulacra?) Maybe we've been staring at our computer screens too long. Excuse us while we take a nap.
