About
"Censored" is an exploration of the intersection between nudity in art and censorship on social media. The project showcases a collection of renowned photography that has been removed from platforms like Instagram for allegedly violating "community guidelines." It raises critical questions about the role of technology companies in making moral decisions and the broader impact of these decisions on artistic expression.
The experiment involved posting well-known nude photographs on Instagram to observe how the platform would react. Predictably, the images were removed, revealing the inconsistencies and hypocrisies within the platform's community guidelines. These removed photographs were then compiled into a book, celebrating their artistry while simultaneously exposing the censorship imposed by the platform.
By highlighting these inconsistencies, "Censored" challenges the arbitrary standards applied to artistic expression and nudity on social media. It invites a broader societal discussion about the implications of censorship, the role of technology in regulating art, and the need for more nuanced approaches to addressing sensitive content in the digital age.
