Two German men, Wilhelm Von Gloeden and Guglielmo Pluschow, visited the south coast of Italy to document young boys in the early 20th century. To escape pornographic censors they portrayed their subjects in neoclassical settings; broken pillars, leopard skin rugs etc. Collishaw took these pictures in a similar style in old disused buildings around Naples (the kind of places where young people hang out, not dilapidated classical ruins but post-industrial graveyards) and made them into 3D lenticular images.
