Nadja Shkirat - Bon appétit!

May 25, 2022

Bon Appétit! describes and reflects today‘s society like a mirror in a disturbing but aesthetically way. Especially emphasising this synthesis on the particular and superficial imagery, color palette and decoration. It is focusing on the stereotypical idea of a woman.
The perfect & alluring beauty of a woman‘s skin and body, which is seen in advertisements, magazines, movies and social media. Bon Appétit visualises how our society is exploiting women as sexual objects. The analog photo-series is centering on organic still lifes and biological structures and combines these with strange sexual fetishes.
 
Humans have two basic instincts: The desire of sexual and nutritious gratification.
We want to see meat. We want to eat meat.
It disenchants the illusion of appearance. In the end death reveals the truth.
 
Meat is meat.
Sex is sex.
Pure, raw and delicious.
