Newport - H0438 - Collection Artificial Nature, 2023

Idan Wizen   Emerging artists

“Who’s That Nude in the Living Room?” is a unique artistic project which aims to constitute the largest photographic series ever made 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 from all social categories to constitute a huge gallery of portraits of men and women of today who have agreed to show themselves as they are, nude.

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

Anyone who poses in his simplest device participates by his own personality, his differences and his particularities in the universality of humankind.

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 nude beauty of human nature.

He also defies the usual criteria of nude photography with his shocking photos, with a strong artistic bias, where the spontaneous provocation of one model can interact with the cheerful and naive expression of another or the modest revelation of a third.

Through the uniformity of the beauty criteria of our society as well as its modes of expression, “Who’s That Nude in the Living Room?” opposes the multitude, the variety, the strength of character, the movement, the surprising and the natural to the state gross of mankind.

Each photo is unique just like its model and never touched up. This inevitably challenges us and creates in us a curious feeling of closeness, of belonging. Because these models are all of us.

Moved or upset by the freshness of a smile, the roundness of a curve, a playful look, a cry of defiance or the fragility of a silhouette, we would like to keep one of these photos with us, the image of a being among the multitude of the human race, a nude in the living room!
