Hideo Kojima seemingly admitted that he'd ordered his
art director to make Metal Gear Solid V characters «more
erotic» for the specific purpose of selling figurines and encouraging cosplay in a truly
bizarre sequence of tweets.
These are joined by photographs that illustrate objects and
art works that couldn't be loaned (Francisco de Goya's Straw Dummy from 1791 - 2 or Oskar Kokoschka's life - size fetish doll that acted as his mistress), that document
bizarre incidents («an accidental suicide during auto -
erotic stimulation») or that have an impact as physically intense as the sculpture (Hans Bellmer's Poupée from 1935, and Cindy Sherman's «Sex» pictures from 1992).
