Naked People - Your Version

A new project by Sebastian Kempa, Naked People- Your Version, invites anybody to upload photos of themselves, both clothed and unclothed, as part of his ongoing Naked People Project. Kempa explains his philosophy:

Clothes are our second layer of skin. They disguise, reveal, mirror our innermost being or help to hide it. By wearing certain clothes we can for example give an indication of our profession, our social status or our emotional mood. A business suit makes us guess that the person behind it is a banker, office worker, insurance agent and so on. In our society it is a sign of trustworthiness. But to which degree is this assumption correct? Can we really trust this cover without reservation? What is really behind it? Can the illusion be destroyed when all of a sudden a tattoo appears under the suit or does the person remain to be unfathomable? Here you have the opportunity to perceive the different effect between a person dressed in their characteristic clothes and in the nude.

I invite nudists and naturists everywhere to participate in Kempa's art project to help further break down the barrier of clothing which society has imposed to imprison our natural bodies.
