Collection 1 - Nude – Pure – Us!

NORMAL STATE!
Normal is what feels like normal to you.
And what you feel is determined by what
you have experienced and what you have
lived through. Which means it is something
completely different to every single
one of us. Everybody has their perspective
on life. Sometimes they nearly coincide
or are the exact opposites. Our social
life is being dictated by constraints that
humans have imposed on themselves
over time. Codes, that must be obeyed so
we don’t fall of the frame. Norms recognized
and approved by society. The biggest
rebel cannot break free of all that.
Much as he’d want to.
Yet, despite all the constraints, there must be
some state, equal for all, that allows us to look
“normal” among our own species. Or at least approaches
“normal” as much as possible.
Perhaps it is the state of nudity. Yes, perhaps.
Optical differences are only relevant to the nature
of each body. No social codes or clothing
rules. Basically, the “raw” state of humans. It
should be the most normal thing on earth to be
just naked. Yet it isn’t.
Nudity has become a strange rarity. But why?
What could have happened, so that people not
only find nudity shameful but can even use it as
means to provoke?
Sex sells!
The very invention of this slogan and the
possibility of its invention alone, should
have made us suspicious. But it hasn’t.
On the contrary, today, in the 21st century
is the uncovered nude body the number
one means of provoking, be it in the music
industry, the fashion industry or art.
The last step to openness today remains
the one to nudity. Of course, some will
say, that nudity is completely acceptable
in fashion, music, or art.

It could have come about as a result of
extreme tabooing. The showing of skin
was foremost for women completely forbidden.
Bathing suits were bigger than
bed sheets. So shamefulness is a relic of
the preceding uptight generations. And
we haven’t managed to shake it off. On
the contrary. Free-your-body and Nudist
clubs are running out of young members.
Nobody wants to ride a bike or play
badminton in the complete nude.
And we all know how the things most
frowned upon, are the most provoking
ones.
An old saying, quoted far too much, goes: “Never
say never.” Our life is being governed by development
and various circumstances. Eventually,
man may manage to shake off this relic.
Just as the clothing covering us. On the other
hand, nobody can guarantee that getting rid of
this shell will be the solution to all inhibition.
One thing is absolutely certain, the covering
clothes, are hiding much that our eye seeks to
avoid looking at. Independently from the beauty
ideals of each decade and century.
Sometimes it is punishment enough having to
imagine what some people’s clothes are hiding.
Nobody wants to see everybody’s everything.
It is impossible to settle to the absolute
solution. Like with everything in life, extremism
is never a solution. Still, we believe
that in the right moments all covers
must fall.
Let´s get naked!
