The first few photos in this set by Marlene Marino
are just as cluttered with minutiae as her subjects are stripped down — the
mattress is bare, every available surface is covered in knickknacks and empty
bottles, the floor is piled high. It's an intimacy casual enough to make you
forget the lovely
naked girls as they meander through the space. It's the set's later shots
that feel like a revelation: out of the bedroom, examined up close, these
bodies become expressive and expansive in their own right. — Caitlin MacRae
