Jennifer Lawrence And Kate Upton's Uncensored Nude Photos To Be Put Up In Exhibition In Florida
A Florida based art gallery will showcase the leaked nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton to highlight the vulnerability of celebrities. Los Angeles based artist XVALA will display these pictures in an "unaltered" form under "Fear Google" campaign in his upcoming show "No Delete" in October.
Since Sunday, the celebrity nude photo scandal has been the hot topic of discussions across all the mediums. Some critics are using it to highlight the negative affects of technology and Internet in today's lives.
"XVALA appropriating celebrity compromised images and the overall 'Fear Google' campaign has helped strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era," Cory Allen, a publicist, said in a press release.
The artist will print J Law's and Kate Upton's nude pictures on the canvas in their original form, without altering them. The latest nude pictures of various celebrities will be exhibited along with XVALA's seven-year collection of similar controversial Google images of celebrities in their most private moments when their security was breeched by paparazzi.
The other controversial pictures include that of Britney Spears getting her head shaved when she had suffered a very public meltdown. Also, Scarlett Johansson's leaked nude pictures are part of the exhibit. The artist has used "Fear Google" logo to cover Johansson's private parts.
XVALA is of the opinion that in today's culture everybody shares their secrets with technology through the use of social media or mobile phones. By doing so, today's technology-savvy man is compromising on his privacy and making it accessible to others.
"In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business. It has become cash for cache," artist XVALA said in the press release.
But isn't he scared of being caught in a legal case if he uses the nude pictures in his exhibition, as they are now being investigated by the FBI? XVALA revealed to Law Weekly that he has the backing of art gallery and hopes that he will not "need an attorney" in future when the exhibition takes place.
The artist believes that he is taking the pictures off the Internet and using them in a new medium of canvas. "No Delete" is scheduled to open on Oct. 30 at Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) Showroom in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
