New Virtual Exhibition: Edition365 2023 launches today on New Art City

Avenue A Bar, NYC

Source: East Village Bar, photographed Sept 9 2022. I have been a photographer for 50 years, and have been photographing New York City since 1983. Life is like a ball of snow that we roll down the street, hoping it’s big enough when we get to the end of the road to build a snowman. Along the way it picks up random stuff – sticks, stones, gum wrappers, glitter, dirt, and who knows what else. The seasons change too. All of a sudden it’s spring, and your ball of snow has melted and you’ve got a pile of this stuff that you didn’t exactly go looking for. An artist will look at that pile of stuff and understand that’s what they have now. I hope when I die, my work makes some kind of sense, that it not only documents a certain place and cultural time, but also tells my story.

Gaemi for "Fearless Flowers"

Source: The project studies one's relationship with their body and the inner fight with the image pressured by the conservative society, where certain beliefs and standards are forced on the younger and fast-growing society. Adorned with flowers, the human body represents a universal innocence, timelessness, and purity. "Fearless Flowers. Not For Everyone" project explores gender, sexuality, gaze, and identity in South Korea. Not interested in nudity for nudity's sake, I strive to present sitters as self-secure. The project studies one's relationship with their body and the inner fight with the image pressured by the conservative society, where certain beliefs and standards are forced on the younger and fast-growing society. Adorned with flowers, the human body represents a universal innocence, timelessness, and purity. These photographs are subsurface in their softness, an exploration of Korean subcultures and their diversity. My subject, who may exude toughness in other settings, is shown with vulnerability and humanity. I'm not interested in taking pictures of someone naked but finding a way to express them as dressed in their own skin, secure in themselves. How do we see our bodies and learn to accept them? To me, the body is an endless source of creativity and a tool for art. It's about capturing the openness, acceptance of your body, sexuality and acceptance of the self-created modern image of who Korean people aspire to be. I aim to strengthen the people who feel like they are not part of society and surround others with their worth of attention and captivating faces. It's the creativity's role always to rebel its spirit against society's already ready-made ideas questioning their relevance.

Queer Love

Source: This image is belongs to my ongoing series featuring queer Brazilian couples as a form of documentation and expression of love 🤍 The LGBTQIA+ communities have one of the highest death rates in Brazil and have been suffering with violence and discrimination daily. Deep rooted social conservatism in our society play a huge part in this, especially over the last few years with the rise of Brazil’s.

Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the entire human race has collectively undergone and recorded a remarkable ordeal. This unprecedented period in history has unfolded before us, revealing and amplifying the flaws in our societies. Across geographical boundaries and cultural divides, our approaches to thought, behavior, and lifestyle continue to evolve and adapt. The first Edition365 was launched last year in partnership with Opensea, capturing a shared moment in history during this time of flux.This year’s collection aims to be entirely inclusive and celebrate diversity in both subject and creator 1 year on.
