Curiosa: La bibliothèque érotique explores the history and aesthetics of erotic book culture, treating it as an autonomous bibliophilic field.

The focus lies on the book as a medium of desire, transgression, and coded representation—situated between literature, illustration, photography, and graphic design.

The publication reveals how erotic content circulated across periods in carefully crafted volumes: concealed, collected, classified, and refined. Erotic libraries are presented not as marginal phenomena but as mirrors of social norms, censorship, and cultural imagination.

Rather than addressing eroticism as a mere theme, Curiosa frames it as a cultural practice inseparable from materiality, typography, image-making, and distribution. The book offers a reflective view of the erotic as an integral part of book history and collecting.
