Obstinacy
The "Obstination" collection by Idan Wizen presents a captivating vision of humanity in all its natural splendor, nudity, and diversity. Through this series, Wizen continues to delve into the depths of the human condition, asserting that beauty lies in the multiplicity of human forms, far from the rigid aesthetic and sociocultural criteria of our time. Each model, with their uniqueness, differences, and unique traits, contributes to the richness of this collection, reinforcing the idea of a diverse and dynamic humanity.
In an act of resistance against the homogenization of beauty standards, "Obstination" highlights authenticity and individual character. Idan Wizen uses a setting that is both simple and profoundly symbolic: a neutral gray background offset by the anachronistic presence of a Louis XV chair, clad in vibrant magenta fabric. This deliberate choice creates a three-dimensional space where models can freely interact, staging their own narrative through their interaction with this timeless object.
This chair, more than just a decorative element, becomes a metaphor for human resilience and obstination. It symbolizes the individual's ability to stand out, to resist uniformity, and to affirm their unique identity within an often conformist society. "Obstination" is a tribute to those who dare to express their individuality, to those who refuse to blend into the crowd and who, by their mere presence, challenge established expectations and norms.
Through "Obstination," Idan Wizen does not merely capture physical beauty; he celebrates humanity's indomitable spirit. This collection is an invitation to recognize and value human diversity in all its complexity, to embrace the unexpected, and to celebrate strength of character and originality. "Obstination" joins the entire "An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room" project as a powerful testament to universal human beauty, well beyond the confines of contemporary aesthetic ideals.
Nude in the Living Room
“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 part of society to constitute a huge bank of portraits of men and women of today who have agreed to 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 the 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 rub shoulders with the cheerful and naive expression of another, or the modest revelation of a third.
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 as 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 release 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!
