Idan Wizen   Emerging artists

Singularity. A point in space-time where gravity becomes infinite. A technological future where artificial intelligence exceeds humans. A system where the smallest change can have big consequences.

A universe plunged into darkness, at the crossroads of theater and cinema, in which time and space cease to exist to make room only for the hero. This hero, nobody like you and me, overcomes his fears and societal taboos by discovering himself, by giving himself up to the eyes of the spectator.

Anything that once seemed substantial loses its importance and becomes a shadow except for being admired.

Accompanied by one or more window mannequins, these, like the term “singularity”, can take on several meanings. Multiple metaphors representing the shadow of the model, societal indifference or even the archetype of the idealized body.

For this 14th collection of the project “Who’s that nude in the living room?”, Idan Wizen invites us to reflect on the place of the body, of being, of its modesty and its true essence in a society still shaken by the health crisis.


The project “Who’s That Nude In The Living Room?” proposes to change the vision of the naked body in society. The models are ordinary people and there is no casting. No matter the morphology, simple person from 18 to 99 years old, everyone is welcome. For most of them, the goal is to learn to love themselves and to correct the disturbed and inaccurate view of themselves.

The main idea of the project is to pay tribute to the uniqueness and diversity of the human race with its raw and unpublished photographs. While the fashion and advertising industries glorify the perfect Apollonian and Aphroditian bodies, the artist deviates from these dictates and has the courage to represent something different: a normal living body without any embellishment or beauty retouching. By showing his models without pomp and without eroticism, the artist fights with one stone the growing puritanism and the omnipresence of pornography in our society, extracting at the same time the model from any socio-cultural origin.
