His right foot is briefly on view in the left fore-ground of the image. As it moves out of frame, the body repositions itself slightly so that a part of the man's shaven head is visible in the left background. He is apparently wearing a blue sweatshirt but, clued in by the title and the unusual and unchanging camera position, we know that it is his lower body.specifically his "cul " which will be our main object of attention.The man's hand reaches down the back of his right thigh, tentatively scratches his butt cheek. flicks the elastic strap on the j…
