The facade of the Museum of Photography in Charleroi was attacked with several molotov cocktails, one of which destroyed an artwork of the controversial Japanese artist Nobuyoshi Araki which represents a naked woman covering her sex with a feather, it was announced today.
Besides having sex covered, the model carries gloves and half black to reach the upper leg and sits on the photo with her legs open.
According to sources reported today the museum to the agency Belga, the photo seems to have been the motive of the attack, which occurred early this morning with incendiary devices manufactured in a very small scale.
Apart from the partial destruction of the photo of Araki, the attack by unknown did not cause extensive material damage.
The eroticism and the portraits of the everyday life of Araki have already unleashed several reactions of condemnation, and some residents of the neighborhood have called for the closure of the exhibition.
The direction of the Museum have been assured that will not be impressed by this kind of aggression.
