I asked people to expose any part of their body that was not immediately visible to me. I approached 70 people before shooting the entire 36 exposures.

“We are witnessing a recent movement that celebrates ‘ugly’ fruit and vegetables… misshapen, deformed, blemished, Inglorious’ fruits became ‘accepted’ by consumers. (…)
But how exactly do we cultivate an everyday aesthetic sensibility to contribute to better world-making? I suggest we begin by questioning the prevalent notions of beauty underlying our common aesthetic responses.”
