THE LEAD QUESTION


“Is sexuality in contemporary animation still a TABOO topic?
And if so, why? ”


In My previous dissertations ( Bachelor Degree’s :“ Psychological Portrait in Fine Art” and MA’s : “The Impact of Contemporary Documentary Photography on World’s Public” ) I mostly researched human emotions, how they are portrayed in visual arts and what are the viewers responses to visual material. As the most interesting phenomena in human psychology I found SHOCK (example: Oliviero Toscani controversial advertising campaigns for Italian brand Benetton, 1982 -2000.)




In 2005 I participated at Christopher Anderson’s lecture about war photography (member of Magnum Photo Agency) and asked him what is so exciting about portraying the death. It made me think about the emotional status of a post-modern “society of spectacle” and it’s commercialization of emotions.
