HB2863 - The Boomer Collection

The Boomer Collection

The Boomer Collection

The 15th collection of the project "Who's That Nude In The Living Room?"

Idan Wizen invites us to rediscover the classics, timeless and timeless of the 70s.

Few words about this collection

"Faced with the need to accept oneself, there is the omnipresence of the judgment of complete strangers on social networks."

The boomer collection - art by Idan Wizen

15th series of the project “Who’s That Nude In The Living Room?”, The Boomer Collection, embraces the classics and timeless of the 70s. Floral wallpaper, orange sofa, a pop and psychedelic style, flower power do you want some, all sprinkled with small cult objects from those years! Idan Wizen has chosen to bring the seventies style up to date, in an ode to kitsch and clichรฉs!

The colored line winding through the decor symbolizes the questioning and evolution of our relationship to our body, to our image, to our nudity, to our intimacy. Todayโ€™s reports are much more complex than those of yesteryear. Faced with universalism, questions of gender and race arise. Faced with the need to accept oneself, there is the omnipresence of the judgment of complete strangers on social networks. The liberation of the body is torn between a hypocritical and galloping puritanism and an omnipresent and invasive pornography.

Nearly 3,000 different people undressed for the project, to evoke diversity in aesthetics, the place of nudity in our society, stuck between puritanism and pornography or even the attraction towards a being of whom we know nothing.

HB2403 - Singularity

Singularity

Singularity

The 14th collection of the project "Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room?"

Idan Wizen invite us to think about the multiple metaphors representing the shadow of the model, societal indifference or even the archetype of the idealized body.

Few words about this collection

"The mannequin represents the perfect body without apparent imperfection. It can also represents societal judgment, the gaze of others."

Singularity. A point in space-time where gravity becomes infinite. A technological future where artificial intelligence exceeds humans. A system where the smallest change can have big consequences.

A universe plunged into darkness, at the crossroads of theater and cinema, in which time and space cease to exist to make room only for the hero. This hero, nobody like you and me, overcomes his fears and societal taboos by discovering himself, by giving himself up to the eyes of the spectator.

Anything that once seemed substantial loses its importance and becomes a shadow except for being admired.

Accompanied by one or more window mannequins, these, like the term โ€œsingularityโ€, can take on several meanings. Multiple metaphors representing the shadow of the model, societal indifference or even the archetype of the idealized body.

Singularity is the 14th collection of โ€œWhoโ€™s That Nude in the Living Room?โ€ art 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. this concept of photographic art aims to bring together thousands of models, volunteers of all ages and from all social categories to constitute a huge gallery of portraits of men and women of today. 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.

Singularity: the collection where the anonymous are not alone

Singularity is a collection of the projectย Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room, a collection that respects the same principles as the others of the project. Namely, models who have never posed before (neither in photos, nor naked), they areย not casted (everyone can come from the age of 18), and who come for aย photo session, where we will keep only one photograph of each individual. There isย no retouching, these are authentic photographs of each individual, they are meant to be made intoย works of artย up to very large formats which are 80 x 120 cm, and to be exhibited, inย exhibitions,ย as well as in private homes.

Singularity is a collection based on black damask curtains. There are going to be several layers, three layers of curtains that will allow us to have a depth, toย give a particular perspective to the picture. There are alwaysย black plastic mannequins in the photographs who will come to dress or in any case surround the modelย and give precisely a different andย deeper meaning. And then itโ€™s a photograph thatโ€™s taken using four studio flash, which will give us veryย marked lights, quite soft and at the same time ratherย disturbing, with luminous orientations that come behind the curtains and leave theย imaginationย have a place to wonder what can happen behind those curtains.

we will really look deep within ourselves, in our unconscious, in our subconscious, the resources, the why...

Singularity

2021โ€“2023 – 595 artworks โ€“ C Print โ€“ Edition of 4 โ€“ unique on its size

Each photo is unique just like 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.

HB1830 - Collection Sanitized by Idan Wizen

Sanitized

Sanitized

The 13th collection of the project Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room

Idan Wizen invites us to reflect on the place of the body, of being, of its modesty and its true essence in a society still shaken by the health crisis.

Few words about this collecton

"A world where the priority is no longer to please some people, but to displease no one."

Composed of two complementary tones, a blue and an orange, both in the decorations and in the lighting, the Sanitized collection with its set entirely covered with plastic sheeting, is reminiscent of the unprecedented episode that our societies experienced: the Covid crisis and the resulting lockdowns.

But if this first reading allows us to locate this collection in time, we cannot help but see a deeper, more conceptual and more critical meaning: the sanitization of our society and its culture. The smooth plastic perfectly represents the current desire to create a world without roughness, which does not bother anyone. A world that trembles at the idea of โ€‹โ€‹criticism on social networks, a world where the priority is no longer to please some people, but to displease no one. In the midst of this, the individual, the only element that is not covered with plastic, is daring to defy the standardization of our customs. And the choice which is offered to him is to accept or not this new world, smooth and sanitized, a choice represented by the duality of colors which come to illuminate the model. It is up to the spectator to choose the world he prefers.

Sanitized is the 13th collection of โ€œWhoโ€™s That Nude in the Living Room?โ€ art 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. this concept of photographic art aims to bring together thousands of models, volunteers of all ages and from all social categories to constitute a huge gallery of portraits of men and women of today. 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.

A collection worthy of covid

Sanitizedย is a collection of the projectย Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room, a collection that respects the same principles as the others of the project. Namely, models who have never posed before (neither in photos, nor naked), they areย not casted (everyone can come from the age of 18), and who come for aย photo session, where we will keep only one photograph of each individual.

The idea ofย Sanitizedย was born after the lifting of the firstย lockdownย in France, around mid-May. I felt obliged to talk about this crisis thatย affected humanity,ย as my project itself speaks a lot about humanity. It seemed essential to me as an artist to integrate it and to show theย evolution of bodies,ย attitudes, beings in aย new world,ย a world that now knows theย Covid,ย and that knows a form of change of major evolution.

HB1736 - Collection Liberty by Idan Wizen

Liberty

Liberty

The 12th collection of the project "Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room?"

Idan Wizen invites us to question ourselves about individual freedom, emancipation and abandonment.

Few words about this collection

"A nature altered by man, which is always in perpetual transformation"

The Liberty collection focuses on a theme very dear to the artist and found in all his artistic works, it is individual freedom. This freedom in general, where we will constrain ourselves, in the face of others, in the face of social pressure.

The collection is strongly inspired by the English โ€œLibertyโ€ fabric, which gave the idea of the title. It is also a work on these purple flowers, which represent a nature altered by man, which is always in perpetual transformation, in evolution. The whole idea of this contrast between man in his natural state and this transformed, disguised nature is to show that we can evolve, that humanity can evolve at the same time as nature. The pink and purplish tones of Liberty are above all synonymous with serenity, peace and quiet.

There is no editing on the photos. The flowers were really there. These are fabric flowers. We had more than 20 mยฒ of fabric flowers in the workshop. And so the models lay down or stood directly on it.

Liberty is the 12th collection of โ€œWhoโ€™s That Nude in the Living Room?โ€ art 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. this concept of photographic art aims to bring together thousands of models, volunteers of all ages and from all social categories to constitute a huge gallery of portraits of men and women of today.

Liberty : Nature shaped by man

Liberty is a collection of the projectย Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room, a collection that respects the same principles as the others of the project. Namely, models who have never posed before (neither in photos, nor naked), they areย not casted (everyone can come from the age of 18), and who come for aย photo session, where we will keep only one photograph of each individual. There isย no retouching, these are authentic photographs of each individual, they are meant to be made intoย works of artย up to very large formats which are 80 x 120 cm, and to be exhibited, inย exhibitions,ย as well as in private homes.

The Liberty collection, in its delicate and quirky decor, inspired by the famous prints, intoxicates us with its countless flowers in purplish fabrics, and transports us to a world of escape and emancipation. With its soft and enveloping lights, this collection takes us on a dreamlike journey around abandonment and the search for freedom. It also allows us to rediscover the body in symbiosis with what could be a new form of nature shaped by human genius.

The contrast between man in his natural state and this transformed nature shows that we can evolve at the same time as nature.

Purity

Purity

The 11th collection of the project "Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room?"

Idan Wizen is showing us a vision of the nude opposed to the pornographic vision.

Few words about this collection

"Almost drawn... Almost vaporous... An angelic air..."

The Purity collection offers a simple and clean view of it. Almost drawn… Almost vaporous… An angelic air. Here is the spirit of this collection made without retouching, without artifice that places the models above all the distractions of everyday life, losing even perspective and gravity.

The Purity collection was created between 2018 and 2019 in black and white genre. The spectator seems to be enclosed in a space, with no time and place, nothing comes across to disrupt the holy contemplation of the lines, barely drawn by human bodies. This collection offers a simple and clear view. We can almost perceive the angelic air emanating from the photographs. The spirit of the collection was to create something without retouching, without artifice in order to place the models above all the distractions of everyday life, abandoning even the perspective and sense of gravity.

Purity: The transcription of single-line drawing into photography

Purity is a collection of the project Whoโ€™s That Nude In The Living Room?”, a collection that respects the same principles as the others of the project. Namely, models who have never posed before (neither in photos, nor naked), they areย not casted (everyone can come from the age of 18), and who come for aย photo session, where we will keep only one photograph of each individual. There isย no retouching, these are authentic photographs of each individual, they are meant to be made intoย works of artย up to very large formats which are 80 x 120 cm, and to be exhibited, inย exhibitions,ย as well as in private homes.

The Purity collection aims to show that the nude was not necessarily demonized, dirty, as we see a lot in our society, but that it can be a very angelic nude, very close to the authenticity of the human race, from its natural state. The artist wanted to show a vision of the nude, as healthy as possible, which was the opposite of the pornographic vision of things, even the erotic vision. The white background highlights the most angelic side possible. It’s something very simple, very refined, almost something that would make you think of the divine or beyond. This simplicity makes it possible to underline the model, to have this very refined side, to also underline the clean side and the virtuous side of each individual. This idea, close to drawing, of having a body so exposed that we only had the main lines left, aims to express simplicity, the very refined and very authentic side.

The spectator seems to be enclosed in a space, with no time and place...
