Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Pornography in practice is riddled with faults and degrading, damaging imagery - but in theory? The artistic representation of people enjoying their own and others' bodies, exposing themselves to look goofy or vulnerable in quest of pleasure, that sounds fucking awesome! When this is true it would be stupid to try and censor or demonize the medium on behalf of (middle class, white, university educated, professionally inclined hegemonic) feminism when all the yuckiness will only manifest itself in a multitude of other ways that it can and does every day. Rather, I want to change what pornography is today, to create imagery of all genders, races, sizes, sexualities that is not fetishized or marginalized, by celebrated as all people are shown as whole, sexual beings.
