Save the Date: Meet photographer Samantha Roddick

Save the Date to meet Samantha Roddick and discuss photography, Carlo Mollino and the sexual objectification of women and view her first artistic project, Hidden Within, at the Michael Hoppen Gallery.
Best known as the original founder of the erotic boutique, Coco de Mer, Roddick has long been exploring our cultural relationship to sex. Roddick takes as her creative muse the twentieth century Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino, and in particular examines his erotic polaroids through which she seeks to explore the notion of the male gaze and those feelings of shame and anxiety that persist in relation to sex in our society.  Read more about her 144 photographs, crafted in order to make the women seem indistinguishable and with no personal identity, encased in embroidered ceremonial velvet here
