Nue York

Questioning how we express ourselves with clothing and fashion in modern society, Erica Simone photographs surprising self-portraits as she performs quotidian tasks entirely in the nude. On the busy streets of New York City we see Simone riding the subway, walking the streets of Chinatown, and grabbing a slice of pizza, all while wearing nothing but shoes. Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen is a colourfully daring collection of photographs in which the artist promotes being comfortable in ones own skin. Simones energy and vulnerability take her to neighborhoods all over the Big Apple and into the everyday lives of its citizens. The scenes she captures stir up humour and wit as she bares all in the quest to remove traditional stigmas of the naked human body.
