Negative Exposure
What I thought would be a quick look at pretty women au naturel turned into an hour-long insightful discussion on cultural, social and religious aspects of human life with one of the photographers and a random visitor. Is nude art rude? Where to draw the line? Is it the most natural thing or does everyone just like boobs? And if it is sexual, so what? In Europe, the US or Asia, nudity is still very much taboo. It scares, confuses, and therefore excites us. Hello, 21st century and Catholic guilt! This project, involving two photographers and three models (who also produced a documentary and decorated their body casts), is the first of a kind in Ireland. Beautiful, thought-provoking, shocking, inspiring. Think yourself modern and free of prejudice? Come to the Monday discussion / performance /
