A brief analysis of the artistic merit of videos made by Peeping Toms/voyeurs

Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between photographer/cameraman and subject)

I refer to Brassaï ‘s 1931 photo, “A suit for two in the magic city”, which features some extent of (the suggestion of) male nudity. in it, clearly there are homosexual themes and there is some expression of intimacy as well

Nowadays, if I were to use a popular expression, people are “going from bad to worse”

And Peeping Toms/voyeurs who arrive later in history, in their “artistic work” - if it could be so termed - seem to demonstrate a clear lack of what the writer Edgar Allan Poe calls the Poetic Principle: their works do not “elevate the soul”, as a poetic work should
