naked silhouette alphabet by anastasia mastrakouli

a series of ethereal photographs by greek artist anastasia mastrakouli utilizes the nude human form to highlight the dialectical relationship between anatomy and visual art. each image is the product of an experimental performance, rendered as a composition of a silhouette and surface while conforming to the shape of the english alphabet. cut off from its physical nature, the corporeal becomes an abstracted imprint of a letter.

  • i would like that we have/need a criteria to distinguish crap from any other think. (un)fortunately, we have not. so everything “deserves” its 15 minutes of fame, nowadays. i still wonder if this is good or sad.
