Antonio, in very sexy underwear, multiplies across the living room in a photocollage that celebrates intellect, desire, and domestic drama. He reads—seriously, studiously, seductively—from a very important book, captured in a sequence of poses that turn scholarship into choreography. The couch, the rug, the lighting: all become supporting characters in this living-room opera of brains and briefs.
Reading Is Fundamental is part satire, part seduction. Terry Hastings reframes the act of reading as a performance of presence—where underwear is intentional, the book is gospel, and every pose says, “I’m smart enough to know exactly what I’m doing.”
