There are about 9 or 10 of these face plant 'tableaus' ...a few may qualify as wam. The images depict the aftermath of some 'violent' or chaotic mishap; some are (quasi) comical, some not so much. I am choosing not to post the url here. [Edited to remove signposted way to find the link-Admin]
Granted, these are 'still' images (not wholly unlike many still images posted here)...but the 'implied' context (situation, happenstance) in these photos is perhaps meant to indicate something more...dark (?).
Pushing the boundaries of the term 'face PLANT' (more so in some of the photos)...and the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words."
Perhaps we should hold a messy forum vote to see what people think of this.
Moderator: I leave to your discretion if this material is suitable under the umd guidelines. I post it here for artistic/aesthetic reasons/interest only. My apologies if this is not suitable.
I'm into it! This is really great art, it's definitely provocative. I can see where it seems a little violent, but because it's not depicting any injury, it seems harmless. For me it's immediately attractive and I want to hang this piece in my house
I'm glad it's not 'offensive' to the posters here (btw, the artist's name is Sandro Giordano).
My concern was with the clear objectification, but more so, the (contextual) implication that these women/models are all 'dead' (or posed in a way that one might find at a crime scene; note the oddly twisted limbs in several of the photos).
I posted the one here because it is fascinating (provocative) photo-storytelling(with a bit of wam).
