A Visual Inquiry into Nudity and Nakedness

  • Jasmine Engel-Malone

The visual element of a research project into the definitions of nudity and nakedness. What does it mean to be naked? Most, if not all of us take on a state of undress at least once on any given day, but I am looking to question what it means to be naked. What does nakedness imply within various contexts and can one say it is the same as being nude? Or is nudity a completely different state of being? These images were shown in my first solo exhibition 'Distance' in May 2019, and then published in my first photographic book of the same name.
