Stilleben verbindet man für gewöhnlich nicht mit dem Genre Aktfotografie. Der Franzose Christian Vicenty jedoch hat dieses Sujet gewissermaßen ins Erotische übersetzt und seinen formidablen Portraits als ideellen Background mit gegeben. In diesem Sinne lassen sich seine Aufnahmen auch als Abbilder erotischer Skulpturen verstehen, die er zuvor bildnerisch in Szene gesetzt hat. Daß der Künstler die dafür nötige Erfahrung nicht nur im Bereich Erotik erworben hat - hier an zwei Beispielen zu sehen - befördert nur die Qualität seiner Bilder.
