Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon - F053 - Collection Persévérance, 2010
Idan Wizen

Idan Wizen's "Perseverance" collection celebrates human beauty in all its diversity and authenticity, far beyond contemporary socio-cultural and aesthetic frameworks. By presenting individuals in their purest and most natural form, this series reveals the uniqueness of each model, their distinctive character and freedom of expression, contributing to the richness of the universal human experience. In the face of the uniformity often imposed by society in terms of beauty and expression, "Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon" highlights the diversity, originality, and intensity of human life in its most raw state.

“Perseverance" stands out for its bold use of a bright red background and harsh lighting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention. The choice of this red hue, traditionally associated with vulgarity or the pornographic world, serves here to defy conventions. Idan Wizen uses this powerful color to create a paradox, illustrating that vulgarity is not a question of context but of attitude. Through this approach, the collection aims to redefine our perception of nudity and body representation, emphasizing that elegance and dignity lie in the way the subjects present themselves and interact with their environment.

By placing naked individuals in front of a bright background, "Perseverance" explores the tension between visibility and perception, questioning the limits between art, eroticism and vulgarity. Each photograph is a celebration of strength of character, the courage to express oneself freely, and the ability to stand with confidence and pride, regardless of external judgments. This series is a tribute to the perseverance of the human spirit, its ability to overcome stereotypes and fully embrace one's identity.

"Perseverance" is an integral part of the artistic project "Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon", which aims to create the largest photographic collection celebrating humanity in its authenticity, nudity and diversity. By bringing together models from all walks of life, this masterful work bears witness to the universal beauty of humanity, far beyond the restrictive criteria imposed by our time. The "Perseverance" collection is a vibrant call to recognize and appreciate the complexity and splendor of human nature.

An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room is a unique artistic project that aims to constitute the largest photographic series ever produced representing humanity as it is, in its most natural state, its nudity and its diversity.

Developed by photographer Idan Wizen, this concept of photographic art aims to bring together thousands of models, volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to create a huge bank of portraits of men and women of today who have agreed to show themselves as they are, naked.

These art photographs, in their multitude and the originality of each of them, their dynamism and their naturalness, bear witness to universal human beauty, well beyond the restrictive socio-cultural and aesthetic criteria of our time.

Anyone who poses in their simplest form thus participates, through their own personality, their differences and their particularities freely expressed in the photo, in the universality of the human race.
Idan Wizen has chosen to exacerbate the true authenticity of each of his models, breaking their possible masks, exposing through each of them, the simple and naked beauty of human nature.

He also challenges the usual criteria of nude photography with his shocking photos, with a powerful artistic bias, where the spontaneous provocation of one model can rub shoulders with the playful and naive expression of another, or even the modest revelation of a third.

To the standardization of beauty criteria in our society as well as its modes of expression, An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room opposes the multitude, the variety, the strength of character, the movement, the surprising and the natural in the raw state of the human race.
Each photo is unique, just like its model, and never retouched. This necessarily speaks to us and arouses in us a curious feeling of proximity, of belonging. Because these models are all of us.
