From Stolen Glances: Lesbians Take Photographs, 1991, edited by Tessa Boffin and Jean Fraser

If sexuality and representation are mutually constituted, then it cannot be possible to discuss them as two discrete entities, one existing before the other. Representations do not merely reflect sexuality but play an active role in its production. Sexuality is always mediated and it is through representations that our bodies, and our fantasies, come to be sexually organised.
