The hilarious thing is that Olympia exudes homoerotica

That may just be in the eye of the viewer.

I haven't seen but a few frames from Olympia (I saw the documentary on Leni and have seen some shots in books).

This whole "homoerotic" thing I just don't get. This was a woman behind the camera. How is her obsessing over the bodies of men homoerotic? If a guy had made it the case could be made. Are people referring to the way she shot women?

If a man makes a statue or drawing of a nude figure, is it automatically "homoerotic" if it is of a man?
