Printing Details
First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 30.5 × 24.5cm, 141pp, with DVD in slip to rear.
In The Fourth Body, Roy Stuart weaves a distinctly cinematic tapestry of provocative erotic narrative set against the opulent, moody backdrops of Paris apartments and grand hotel suites. Captured alongside the production of his feature film The Lost Door, the volume bypasses traditional, passive pin-up posing in favour of complex, female-led tableaux exploring power dynamics, voyeurism, and fetishistic storytelling. Stuart’s raw visual style features unconventional models, expressive body language, and a deliberate subversion of mainstream adult aesthetics, presenting each photograph as a frozen, highly stylized movie frame. Complemented by an introductory essay and in-depth interview by Dian Hanson, the collection reads as both a high-production photographic portfolio and a philosophical exploration of multi-layered desire.
The DVD is present and plays. The book is illustrated throughout from the "that's quite fruity" through to the "oh my goodness".
