Review

Art critic Jerry Saltz is quoted on Linda Troeller's website as saying that the series of photographs are incredible, and that he likes the "very straight, almost-documentary aspect of her work." Saltz adds that "women’s mysteries, when explored by artists, will change the way the world looks and the way we look at the world." (Andrew Lasane Complex)

Photographer Linda Troeller and scholar Marion Schneider decided to put an end to the gender biased trend. Together, they photographed and interviewed women of all different ages, nationalities and cultural backgrounds, thus crafting a raw, sensual and multifarious view of what a female orgasm is and, importantly, what it can be. The two compiled their findings into a stunning book published by Daylight, aptly called "Orgasm," bringing private matters into the public eye, further eliminating the stigma and shame too often associated with the topic.

"Orgasm" aligns a certain bodily peak with an energetic way of being in the world, of loving yourself and loving others all at once. "Eroticism is no longer associated solely with 'sex,' but it is a vital 'turn on to life,'" Troeller said. (Priscilla Frank Huffington Post)
