Episodes

Ode to beauty

Representations of the body are at the heart of erotic art; to follow the evolution of art over the centuries is also to follow the shifting concept of beauty. We meet artists who are reinventing our perception of the body and the erotic.

Sexy Fun & Games

We often talk about sex when we talk about "love games". This fun journey around the world presents the work of artists who get caught up in the game by approaching eroticism as a real pleasure. It will transform your perception of beauty and eroticism!

Eros & Thanatos

The link between death and eroticism has fascinated artists for a very long time. Little death, macabre dance, tragic romanticism, bruised bodies ... Black eroticism provokes reflection by exploiting the blurred border between life, desire and death.

Secret desires

Eroticism likes to provoke, but it also knows how to be discreet. This pilgrimage in the folds of desire and prohibition explores erotic works camouflaged under the symbolism ... or downright locked behind doors!

Sex In The Future

Futuristic and erotic fantasy are often inseparable. A journey made in leaps in time allows us to explore this anticipated future filled with erotic machines and women-robots with disturbing humanity.
