Brooklyn-based artist Giulia is an artist merging “sexy” images of the female form with beautiful images of outstanding architecture. The outcome simultaneously explores the realms of pornography, geometry and art.
Having grown up ashamed of her curves, Giulia is using the project as a way to fully appreciate the twists and turns of women as a whole, similarly to the way we would with any good design. Giulia strategically places architectural elements over images of women, keeping the highly allusive element alive while mostly bypassing Instagram’s strict policy on nudity. She tells Highsnobiety: “It started with me creating random pornographic collages where I would replace genitalia with images that looked phallic or yonic, typically food.” She explains this slowly evolved into the process of her looking for any images that resembled the female body, eventually being refined to just architectural images that resembled the female form. Here are some examples below;
As a voice for pro-sex and pro-open expression, Giulia’s found a hugely creative means to connect the dots. Noticing architectural design queues featuring angles that mirror those of a familiarly feminine form, she’s making a comparison to our bodies being functional art.
Turning these pornographic pictures of women and of sex, something most of the public wouldn’t find pleasing to look at, into collages of beautiful architecture is tremendously clever, and I find that this idea links to the clay vaginas I made that resemble flowers. Making the frowned upon aesthetically pleasing is very interesting to me, and I’m interested in creating more artworks around this idea in the future.
