Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Second, I have to respond to something. I hope this sort of discussion is welcome on your blog. If not, I'm sorry.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that these images are particularly hard to take. It seems that intimacy is a natural resource dammed by our leaders and used by them to build empires, so it is not good to cultivate an attitude of alarm toward nudity. That is only to donate more energy to empire.<BR/><BR/>If the artist is protesting the subjugation of the female body to cultural texts, such as those imposed by the fashion industry, she would to best not to subjugate it to her own political texts. I find in Ostojic's images a desire to exploit nudity for her own ends, which actually perpetuates the distance from the body created by pornography. She robs nudity of its immediacy.<BR/><BR/>To subjugate the image to words, that is to texts, is to act out the oppression of the body rather than to oppose it. I see in these works the moralistic motive: opposing a "sin" is actually a justification for indulging an obsession with that sin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
