Synopsis:
Contemporary photography is challenging some of our deepest-held
taboos about the human body.
Through the work of some of the world's most controversial art
photographers - including Andres Serrano, Joel-Peter Witkin, and
Sally Mann - the series explores our terror of death, our deep
anxieties about ageing and disability, and our moral panic around
the image of childhood. Each film follows a small number of
distinguished art photographers as they work with their models to
create images which ask profound questions about the way we look at
the world and our own place within it.
Naked focuses on how photography is challenging our image of a
'normal' human body.
Kids is a film exploring how a number of photographers are pushing
beyond our 'family snapshot' images of childhood.
The Dead focuses on perhaps our ultimate taboo: death.
