Neurosis
The "Neurosis" collection by Idan Wizen dives deep into the human soul, shedding light on the complexities and contradictions that define our essence. This bold series is a continuation of the artistic project "An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room," which aims to unveil humanity in its most truthful state, without any embellishments or facades. "Neurosis" embarks on an intimate exploration of internal tensions and psychic conflicts through the prism of photography.
At the heart of "Neurosis," the audacious choice of a purple background introduces a powerful symbolic dimension. This color, often associated with death, mystery, or spirituality, serves as a backdrop for a raw expression of humanity. It underscores the ambivalence of emotions and states of mind, fluctuating between tranquility and turmoil, the sacred and the profane. Through this contrast, Wizen reveals the complexity of being, torn between its highest aspirations and its darkest torments.
Models in "Neurosis" are captured in moments of genuine vulnerability, offering both a personal and universal mirror to the internal struggles everyone may experience. Through their poses, expressions, and the strength emanating from their nudity, they embody various aspects of human neurosis: anxiety, desire, repression, and liberation. Each photograph is an act of resilience, an affirmation of identity and personality against societal norms and expectations.
The "Neurosis" series does not merely present nude bodies; it invites deeper reflection on the human condition, on defense mechanisms, and the masks we wear in daily life. By juxtaposing the raw energy of the models with the ambivalent serenity of purple, Wizen creates a visual dialectic that questions notions of freedom, alienation, and the quest for authenticity.
In "Neurosis," as in his entire body of work, Idan Wizen transcends the boundaries of photography to engage in dialogue with the viewer, inviting them to contemplate the richness and complexity of the human experience. This collection serves as a tribute to the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of adversity, celebrating our ability to find light, even in the deepest darkness of the soul.
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!
