It has been suggested that this photograph, the only [known] nude by de Meyer, has some connection to the Ballets Russes, but the nature of that link remains mysterious. The image vibrates with an uneasy erotic tension, a product of the figure’s exposed torso, startled body language, and disguised identity. (quoted from The Met)

“How to think inside the box Instructions: Step 1: You find a box. Step 2: You check if the box is empty. Step 3: You check so that no one can see you. Step 4: You give the box a try. Step 5: You seem to like the box. Step 6: You take the box in different places. Step 7: You find a friend. Step 8: You try to understand your new friend. Step 9: You fail and get sad. Step 10: You have no clue what to do with your life. Use the box with extreme caution!”
