Hot Naked Girl Poses in Front of Urban Ruins

2006_6_nakedgirl1.jpg

Fans of urban exploration photography and naked women, rejoice, for your day has finally arrived! Naked City Spleen features dozens of pictures of Miru Kim posing in front of various urban ruins, including but not limited to the recently destroyed Greenpoint Terminal Market and the very-soon-to-be-leveled Red Hook Sugar Factory. And lest you think this is just about cheap thrills, Miru has a long essay explaining the project:

Photography then is one of my attempts to make that magical moment of assimilation more permanent, by freezing it into still images. When the land of urban wilderness is redeveloped into a mall or condominiums, I will look through the photographs and wonder where the pack of dogs would have gone. The animals who were once so free would be put behind grated metal gates and succumbed to the needles. One significant motivating force in Naked City Spleen is the identification with the creatures that inhabit the forgotten and forbidden urban spaces. Images of my body in the photographs appear to impersonate the condition of freedom which is intrinsic to all sentient living beings.

Now that's what we call an MFA thesis! Bravo! [Via Bucky and AnimalNY, which has recently taken a turn towards the hardcore (NSFW!!!)!]

As "interesting" as she is, after viewing the photos I can honestly (and firmly heterosexually) say that I prefer the city scenes sans Miru Kim's naked form.

NYC's unique inner spaces have a beauty all their own, which are somewhat diluted by the unnecessary inclusion of a nude female (or male) form. The naked body is a beautiful thing, but so is the naked NYC: in my opinion this is one case where 1 + 1 != 2.

"Infantile Gothamist writer pens yet another juvenile headline."

i hope she gets a tetanus shot!
