Backstage
The "Backstage" series, the ninth collection from the distinguished "Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon" project, transports viewers to the vibrant era of the 1950s and 60s—a time characterized by profound societal shifts and an unprecedented liberation in terms of body positivity, sexual freedom, and social mores. This collection is crafted as a tribute to the groundbreaking moments when, after centuries of restrictions, humanity began embracing the body's natural form and beauty, breaking free from the shackles of conventional restraints.
In "Backstage," Idan Wizen masterfully employs two symbolic elements to enhance the visual narrative: a black and white checkerboard floor and a striped chaise lounge. These elements not only create a dynamic interplay of perspective and contrast but also symbolize the stark dualities of that era. The binary worldview of the time is depicted through less nuanced, more definitive battles, unlike the complex, gray-scale conflicts of today. Moreover, the collection invites viewers to envision the subjects as chess pieces in a strategic game of life, moving across the checkerboard of existence.
"Backstage" is an essential part of "Un Anonyme Nu Dans Le Salon," an ambitious art project aimed at curating the largest photographic series to authentically depict humanity in its rawest form—naked and diverse. This initiative seeks to assemble thousands of volunteer models from all walks of life and ages, creating a vast portrait gallery that celebrates the timeless and universal beauty of the human form, far beyond the narrow socio-cultural and aesthetic standards of the current era.
Art collectors and photography enthusiasts seeking pieces that not only captivate visually but also evoke the spirit of liberation and the historical depth of the mid-20th century will find the "Backstage" collection a valuable addition to their collections. Through its evocative imagery and thoughtful homage to a transformative period, "Backstage" emerges as a compelling narrative on freedom, identity, and the enduring allure of human expression captured through the lens of fine art photography.
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!
