Vanessa Beecroft

Vanessa Beecroft is a performance-installation artist playing with the idea of gaze and woman's role in history of art. She is using real woman bodies as objects for her art - objects that are used to be looked at. She reverses it and her women are staring back at the audience.

    Thank you for sharing this!
    I enjoyed this video, but I prefer the work of Spencer Tunick. He also works with the nude body, but of women AND men. I prefer his work because his message is a positive one. It is more about unification than division.

    Here is a video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fy3qnBZBJ8

    And there are beautiful images on his website:

    Thank you Kat!
    Pretty cool. I have seen some of his images looooong time ago. I totally forgot about him and of course I didn't remember his name.
