Monograph published on the occasion of Julian Lee's solo exhibition 'Suspending Torso: The Body Machine' from the Hong Kong Photo Festival 2010 held at the City University Gallery. It showcases the artist's black-and-white photographic works between 1985 and 2010, divided in three series: Reclining Others, Formalities of the Body Machine, and Sequencing the Temporal Body.

'Julian Lee reflects on his own fragmented, exilic identity through different stages of his life in a series of male nude shot between 1985-2010, cast as both alter-ego and object of desire. Earlier nudes were cast with melancholia and gradations of pain. The subtle voyeuristic pose of the muscular body align these male nudes with the realm of neo-classical romanticism.' -excerpted from the Preface
