Joanna Grochowska Photography

Joanna Grochowska Her photography refers to a concept of a Doll of Hans Bellmer, combining the obscurity of eroticism and sadism. The imagery depicting person as a mannequin blurs the distinction between Human and Nonhuman, Animate and Inanimate. The representation of still, passive, usually faceless and fragmented figures provokes inventing of new desires, transgression.

Milo Moiré arrested in London Mirror Box Performance

quote [Well-established Swiss performance artist Milo Moiré has been arrested in London after allowing strangers to stroke her genitals for her latest performance piece. The project, titled “Mirror Box”, saw the artist walk around various European cities with a large reflective structure covering her body. Using a megaphone to attract attention, she would then invite strangers to stick their hands in the box, and fondle either her breasts or vagina for a 30-second period

Milo Moiré’s performance “Mirror Box” is a societal reflection of human sexuality. It's a expanded reenactment of the “Tap and Touch Cinema” (1968) and a homage to the Austrian artist VALIE EXPORT, who was already fighting for women’s rights in the 1960s through artistic actions. Artist Milo Moiré utilises her body as an instrument, even as a weapon, in order to depict and disrupt power structures. She aggressively seeks the feminine expression of sexual self-determination and explores the boundaries of art and bourgeois morality].

quote [I started by making self-portraits because it was an easy way: full control on time, ideas, (no) limits, model, and then because I never had the idea of ​​being a "proper" photographer even though I work with a camera. I just wanted to create images as one might do in painting or drawing].

Fifty Shades of Pain by Alva Bernadine

Four Hundred and One Blows, by Alva Bernadine  

Spanking as Art – Slow motion flagellation

Apparently we are now living in the age of Fifty Shades of Grey, where previously vanilla women, are now demanding to be tied to the bed and whipped. The plot, is about an unprepossessing woman who is ravished by an impossibly handsome billionaire who falls in love with her. All she has to do is to endure a regular thrashing by a man who is a love god in the bedroom.

Never one to go for the obvious, I began to wonder what happens at the moment of impact. These pictures, a taxonomy of blows, were taken with a sound activated switch and captures that precise instant.

Harold Edgerton was the inventor of high speed flash, which he used to capture things that were too fast for human vision, such as his famous bullet passing through an apple or a crown of milk caused my a single droplet. I had become fascinated by his work and acquired a sound activated switch and began experimenting, taking portraits of a friend with bursting balloons and exploding fruit and bottles, shot with an air rifle.

While in the midst of this, a friend phoned me and asked what I was up to these days. I told her and she commented on once seeing a video of a woman being flagellated in slow motion.



In that instant the project, Four Hundred and One Blows, was born. I had first met her when she bought a print of The Most Scurrilous Washing Line in Christendom, an image of a nude woman standing in a kitchen with the family laundry hung out on washing lines attached to her pierced nipples. She hung it in her own kitchen. My friend had two degrees and three children and had a penchant for being whipped.

She came round with her partner and a sports bag full of different thrashing implements. In a darkened room the camera shutter is opened and when there is a noise the flash is activated. My switch had two dials, one to control its sound sensitivity and the other was a delay you tuned to achieve the moment of maximum impact. We went through the bag of canes, riding crops, tawses and cat-o-nine-tails and then I threw in my kitchen spatula and table tennis bat for good measure. When I showed the first photographs, some people, much to my annoyance, thought I was doing it with a sheet of glass or something.

I then decided to photograph different shaped arses and would ask women of my acquaintance and those I met at parties to aid me in my scientific endeavour. Surprisingly 50% said yes. It is a wonder I did not get slapped in the face – but that would have made an interesting sound activated picture as well.

Allure Art: paintings made by people having sex

quote [Imagine a primal erotic moment spilled out onto canvas in unmistakable tones, unique to you and your lover; patterns bursting with colour, telling the tale of a sexual journey that you shared together – immortalised forever.
ALLURE ART kits allow you to be the Dali of your dreams and create a masterpiece of your own making, all while enjoy the pleasure of each other’s bodies – a real expression of your love displayed in glorious strokes and colours.
Everyone should be able to express themselves and there’s no better way of doing so than by making love. Forget paint brushes and stencils, for couples looking to making lifelong memories while spicing up their sex lives, the allure of erotic art must not be resisted.
Once the dance has been done, the paint has dried and the creation has been hung on the wall, what remains will be an intimate moment will last forever].

The Brutality of a Toxic Love

quote [Julia Fox, artist and head designer of Franziska Fox, recently released a graphic, autobiographical art book titled Heartburn/Nausea. The book acts as a character sketch, exposing flashes of intimate details that add up to mold a vision of a troubled girl. There is no hesitation between honesty and story telling, as this book is a collection of literal documents from the artist’s life. The book is extremely raw and almost devastatingly personal. She invites us into her own past, for just a moment, allowing us to truly have an experience through her memories].

Hand-drawn animations by Jake Fried

quote [Jake Fried (1984) began his artistic career as a painter, but as he went through the process of layering and modifying images, he realized what truly interested him was the way the images metamorphosed in the course of making a painting and he changed tracks to become an animator. In recent years his films have been widely shown internationally, including at the Tate Modern, Sundance Film Festival and on Adult Swim. Fried works with ink and white-out, sometimes adding gouache, collage and even coffee to generate hallucinatory vistas, modifying and shooting the images over and over to create mind-bending animations that evolve at a frenzied pace. He currently teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Art Prints available at society6.com/jakefried]. More video work.

Handiedan‘s sculptural hand-cut collages

quote [Undisputed protagonists of Handiedan‘s sculptural hand-cut collages, her vintage pin-ups immediately recall the burlesque genre. However if we look into them further many sources of inspiration are revealed: the Neo-Classical and Victorian ages, the Parisian Belle Époque, up to the 1940’s and Post-War sexy imagery. But none of Handiedan‘s ‘models’ really existed. In fact each of them is composed through by assembling anatomical parts of different pre-existing images].

"Se abrirán las grandes Alamedas" by Elizabeth Neira

"Se abrirán las grandes Alamedas" is a performance by chilean artist and poet Elizabeth Neira.
The words are Salvador Allende’s Last Words to the Nation, a speech delivered at 9:10 am on September 11, 1973 in the midst on an ultimately successful US-sponsored coup d’etat against the democratically-elected government. Barricaded inside La Moneda, the presidential palace, President Allende gave his life defending Chilean democracy.

Giuseppe Palmisano Photography

Giuseppe Palmisano, Also known as iosonopipo, was born in November 1989, in Apulia, a Southern region of Italy. His whole life is a theatrical play, and when he graduates, he moves in Rome to pursue his dream – he wants to become an actor – and he makes his dream come true. He moves through eleven houses, five different towns, nine cohabitations. Currently Pipo directs a concerts agency, he lives in Bologna, and he is fullfilling his photography research.

If I look at myself in the mirror my reflection seems yellow, it is as if I have lived before and I returned back in time to gather the stories of the people living today, consoling them that they are still living as we lived yesterday. The same love, the same pain, the same thoughts…infinitely.
