The exhibition is built around five female sitters, whose characters become apparent in the diverse ways that they approach nudity. By revealing their bodies they exhibit their inner nature and also their very different relationship to the viewer.
Therefore, female nudes were chosen as cornerstones for this show, due to the conflict between the controversial nature of nudes online (often banned from social media and categorized as pornography), while society is being exposed to images of nudity more than ever and their shock value does not really exist. By painting over parts of photograph’s Glukhova comments on the puritanical views and the double standards towards nudity online, while making sure that those images can be shared with others.
