ROMA: UNA MIRADA VIRGEN 2012

Museo Nazionale Romano -Palazzo Altemps. Rome, Italy 2012

 

I walked the streets of Rome dressed in a white nun’s habit, I entered various historical sites and museums. First Museo Nazionale Romano which holds a wonderful collection of Greek and Roman sculpture. Here I proceeded to photograph mainly nude sculptures while I was filmed by my cameraman. The sculptures were ready to pose for me, sensuous Dionysius, proud Hera, sexy Aphrodite, warriors and emperors all seemed so alive. The contrast between my closed nuns habit made their open nudity even more exposed. The museum visitors  were very curious about the nun interested in art.
