"Manual Focus" is turning faces 180 degrees, arms and legs upside down and swapping the front with the back side of the body, thus crossing out identities and producing a twelve-legged monster. It isn't the monster in itself but rather the monstrous connections between nude/masked, artificial/real, male/female that produce an unfamiliar gaze at the bodies we already know. Monsters are not a species that you can get familiar with.
