Text in English & German. About Stefan Gesell: "With a
background and training in illustration and graffiti art, I think
it would be fair to say that Stefan considers himself more as an
illustrator than a photographer, although he obviously can make
really stunning photographs. He creates his photographs digitally
and then manipulates them to taste, composing other elements into
them as needed to achieve the look hes after. Stefans work is
flat-out sexy, hard-edged, high tech and very contemporary. Much of
his work has a sci-fi flavour to it. I was immediately drawn to
Stefans use of colour and his composition. The colour is
sumptuously rich -- Rembrandt colour. The design and composition --
immaculate. Meticulous visual design.
Text in English, German & French. In the garden of Heaven,
there already was a snake. As for the little juicy fruit Eve gave
to humanity, it probably was, already, the carefully shaven
genitals, pulpy and plump, that the girls display in this book with
a smile. They offer themselves to be seen, self-confident, without
hiding anything of their slit genitalia, like a tempting fruit.
When they spread their thighs, they may unveil the little hill of
their vulva but their cheeky looks and postures are always playful.
Here we are in the realm of pretense, a world of fantasy where Eves
daughters become elusive fairies.
This body of work is a contemplation of human beings' passage on
earth and their intimate interrelation with the environment. This
book attempts to bring humour to the things we are getting attached
to. It points at the invisible within the visible, the immaterial
within the material or the vertical nature of being (and its
mirror-like quality) within our horizontal way of living (where our
mind, time, and space condition our experiences). The naked body is
seen as our primary indivisible unit of perception which is usually
pushed and pulled by our thinking mind's desire to either get less
or more. In other words, our lives are coloured by our minds and
since body-mind is a single entity, most of the colours painted on
the body are an allusion to the range of our changing desires from
being invisible or transparent to wanting to be singular and the
centre of attention. The book's Interviews (the interviewers are
from Russia, Colombia, Korea, Germany, and the US) stanzas, and
photographs are not seen as being subservient to one another but
can be seen as an assemblage of three independent directions that
may or may not intersect following each reader.
Text in English, French & German. By removing their pubic hair,
these young women seem to be wanting to stay forever young,
suspended in a state of disquieting purity. This is the
extraordinary effect these naked pictures have on us: they are
showing us "indecency" as a supreme form of innocence. They convert
the brazenness into an ideal of ingenuousness and turn sexy models
into icons of chastity.
Text in English, French & German. How beautiful are these
pilose vulvas that are natural and hairy and not shaven bald. I
feel happy whenever I see something beautiful. Many past cultures
worshipped vulvas. And its no small wonder that today, vulvas have
started again to unfold their magical charms, at least within the
world of fine art. So it is that Paramonov's angels appear
unashamed of their hairiness, act rather proud of their unshaven,
natural beauty.
