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!
Idan Wizen
Idan Wizen, a Franco-Israeli artist and photographer, has made a significant mark in the photography domain, notably with his emblematic project "An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room." His work has been highlighted in renowned cities such as Paris, New York, Miami, and Osaka. In 2013, his unique talent for capturing male nudity was honored with the award for the best male nude photograph at the International PhotoShootAwards, marking the start of over sixty accolades for his project.
Born on October 26, 1984, in Tel-Aviv, Idan began his studies at the University Paris II Panthéon-Assas in 2002, initially focusing on economics and management. However, he quickly discovered that his true interests lay in the fields of art, photography, and advertising, prompting him to redirect his career towards these passions.
After reassessing his ambitions, Idan enrolled in Sup de Pub, where he earned a Master's in Art Direction in 2007. Continuing on this path, he also secured a Master's degree from the University of the Arts London in 2008. Upon returning to Paris, after a brief stint as a marketing manager in the cosmetics sector, Idan founded Studio Idan, an agency specializing in print, web, and photography.
Alongside running his agency, Idan ventured into photography. On April 18, 2009, he launched the project "An Anonymous Nude in the Living Room," which quickly stood out for its mastery of lighting, the intrinsic beauty of each shot, and his ability to swiftly establish trust with his models. To date, the project has attracted over 2400 participants.
In 2023, Idan Wizen took a significant step forward in his career by opening the Art Gallery of Studio Idan, a space dedicated to the exhibition and sale of art prints. This venue provides a new platform for showcasing his works, as well as those of other artists who share his vision.
