THE EROTICISM OF SEBASTIEN BARRIOLA
self-taught photographer based in the
Saint-Étienne region, he discovered photography later in life.
In his early years, he focused mainly on
landscape photography and, from time to time,
concert photography, drawing much of his inspiration from the work and vision of other artists.
More recently, his work has shifted toward
portrait and nude photography, searching for a more human approach and perhaps a more creative form of expression.
Rather than locking himself into a specific photographic style, his approach is simply centered around
creating images.

THE VOLLEYBALL GIRLYears ago, when someone went to see a magician, there were two kinds of people: those who knew there was a trick… and those who
wanted to believe.
Today you don’t need stages or cards hidden up a sleeve. All it takes is an Instagram profile, a perfect face, a body straight out of a catalog… and artificial intelligence doing the rest.
Because yes, what you’re seeing in those videos —that blonde, stunning girl playing volleyball, in a gym, on the beach, with those smooth, almost “too perfect” movements—
doesn’t exist.
There’s no girl. No team. No match. There’s someone behind it generating the content, uploading it, refining it… and most importantly,
monetizing it. And that’s where things get interesting.
Because we’re not just talking about accounts posting videos to get views. We’re talking about profiles that build followers, create a community… and then drop a link. A link that takes you out of there and into some kind of hub where, if you want to see more, you have to pay. And you pay. You pay to see more of someone who, in reality,
doesn’t exist.
And no, in many cases there isn’t a single line telling you that the content is AI-generated. Nothing. Zero. As if everything were real. So the question isn’t whether the technology has advanced—we already know that. The real question is:
is this entertainment… or is it deception?
Because if you go in knowing what it is, fine. Everyone spends their money however they want. Just like paying for a show, a game, or anything else.
But if no one tells you… if everything is designed to look real… then you’re no longer choosing with full information. And that changes everything.
Maybe you see it clearly. Maybe you notice the flaws, something feels off, and you think “this is AI.” But a lot of people don’t. Or they suspect it… and just don’t care.
And that’s the most interesting part. That just like years ago some people believed in magic… now there are adults who, knowingly or not, are stepping into a game where the line between real and generated isn’t so clear anymore. Not because it’s gone… but because it’s getting harder and harder to see.
