El otro día me encontré escaneadas en la red las páginas del libro 'Sex' con la cantante Madonna fotografiada en numerosas poses y fantasías sexuales por Steven Meisel y que fue editado con edición limitada y numerada en Octubre de 1992 (un día después de que el disco 'Erotica' saliera a la calle). Acompañaban a las imágenes textos epistolares que la estrella del pop firmaba con el nombre de un personaje ficticio llamado Dita (nombre inspirado en la actriz de cine mudo Dita Parlo, que aparecía en el clásico del cine francés 'L´Atalante') y dirigidos a otro personaje inventado, Johnny. Las tapas eran de metal y en ellas sólo aparecía la palabra 'SEX' grabada. Es el libro de fotografías más vendido de la historia. Una película de las sesiones fue filmada por el realizador Fabien Baron y serviría para el montaje del vídeo-clip del single 'Erotica'.
The other day I spotted over the net all the scanned pages from the book 'Sex' with Madonna photographed in a wide variery of sexual poses and fantasies by Steven Meisel and originally released in limited edition in October 1992 (one day after the album by the artist, 'Erotica', was published). Accompanying the images there were epistolary texts written by the pop star and signed under the name of a fictional character called Dita (a name inspired by silent film actress Dita Parlo, who appeared in the french classic 'L'Atalante') and addressed to another fiction character, Johnny. The bookcovers were made in plain metal only showing the word 'SEX' marked on it. It is the biggest-selling photography coffee-table book in history. The photoshoot was filmed by Fabien Baron, footage that was selected and edited in a promo video for the song 'Erotica'.
