Art = Standing in room in front of crowd butt naked

[graeno]

I just watched the video, and I didn't see anything like that!

Can somebody clear up this mystery about the three naked audience girls in the video, which video?

[Mugzy]

Is there another video on the website other than the one that shows on the main page? Like Pedro and graeno, I didn't see any random audience nudes in that one either.

Yes, if you click on the section that says "Artist Statement", there is a link on the top that says "Human Body Project Video" That is the one you are looking for. I didn't find it right away either.

I couldn't get that video to play.

What I like about the photos is how in the background are quite a few pretty younger girls, photographing and videoing every inch of her and generally ogling her sagging naked body and apparently getting quite a kick out of it. It's always a pleasure to see mature people exposing and humiliating themselves in front of a younger audience (and always a treat for the youngsters too of course.) You would think those girls might be ashamed to see a woman old enough to be their mother baring all in front of them, but not a bit of it. Very healthy attitude!

I love the whole nude life model vibe but find it surprisingly hard to find good pics and videos that show both the nude model and the people drawing her. Is there any chance a Good Samaritan out there could load up a few or direct me to an appropriate thread? Thanks very much.

Strange choice of words there. I don't think this "exhibit" has anything to do with humiliation. Quite the opposite, actually. The way I read it, it's all about empowerment and pushing comfort zones, both Tasha's and the spectators'. I don't really see where humiliation comes into the equation, especially because it is Tasha's choice to do this.

Can confirm video on artist statement page... three other girls strip and sit next to her.

Being stark naked in front of everyone you know is obviously humiliating on a certain level, even if you make it happen yourself and even if you claim it's for "artistic" and "empowering" purposes. Even exhibitionists and flashers admit that the rush comes from an element of embarrassment and wrongness about the whole thing, otherwise it'd be no big deal.

Obviously, being stark naked in front of everyone IS a big deal to this woman, since she's the one making such a big deal about it and making it into some grand public exhibition for the whole world, including her family, to see. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cry for help on some level, the same as when women with long beautiful hair suddenly chop it all off during times of stress.

On some internal level she surely knows what she's done to herself, and that a certain degree of self-respect has been lost forever, no matter how noble or lofty a setting the self-exposure was done in. She's cute, and I'd hit it, but let's face it, she looks ridiculous.

She pretty much admits all this on her "artist's statement" page where she calls herself "flabby" and says her self-exhibitionism is all about "vulnerability". She also says, "It's hard! I am not comfortable without my defenses". In other words, she is indeed humiliating herself knowingly for the entire world to see.

going to museums in Germany can be interesting. These are from the Museumsnackt in Chemnitz (former Karl Marx Stadt). Same concept has been tried in Dresden too - the visitors get to have a shot at making their own akt drawings.
