Sam Roddick's New Photography Exhibition: Hidden Within. Do These Pictures Objectify Women?

As the founder of erotic emporium Coco de Mer (and former Marie Claire sex columnist) it’s fair to say Sam Roddick knows about sex. Which is why erotica is the subject of her first photography exhibition – it opened recently (guests included Colin and Livia Firth) and is causing something of a stir.
 
It’s inspired by Italian architect Carlos Mollino. After his death in 1973 over 1,000 hidden erotic Polaroids were found in a property owned by Mollino. They were images of women that he had art directed over many years but kept hidden in the house – which he designed but never lived in – like a shameful secret.
