While Herbert’s Porch Glider and Two Figures manifest the more explicit eroticism of naked bodies in spaces fetishized by the voyeur, the pieces that make up Brakhage’s Sexual Meditations show a wide range of scenes, as their titles indicate (Motel, Faun’s Room, Hotel, Open Field, Room With a View, Office Suite), in which space plays a crucial role in the modulation of desire.
