Check out this awesomely weird photo series named “My Luxuria” by photographer/”digital Frankenstein” Alex Sandwell Kliszynski.
“My work explores the idea of the human/doll composite. It is intended as a satirical take on the pornographic image, posing questions about desire and fantasy and their representation in mainstream post-feminist culture. I draw attention to the objectification of the body and, at the same time, the disassociation between the commercialised male sexual fantasy and everyday experience of intimate relationships.”
Love it. Although, while I see where he’s coming from, I think in “real world” there are a good majority of men and women who don’t limit their definition of sexual attraction to the unrealistic expectations created by fashion magazines and Hollywood propaganda.
What’s your take? Do you feel comfortable with your looks? How often would you say you think about your image as it relates to mainstream societal pressures?
