Miru Kim. Naked Artist.
Hey,
.
This post is about a girl who began her adult life wanting to be a doctor.
She became a medical student with such a career in mind for herself, but she actually ended up developing a career as an unusual artist by taking pictures of herself in unusual places….nude.
.
It happened when she went to New York. and fell in love with the whole vibe and energy of the place.
.
As she explored the city, she became very interested in hidden locations she found there, such as abandoned warehouses, subways and locations scheduled for re-development.
.
As her interest developed she began recording these places in photographs, making a point of including the unnoticed animals who dwelled in these locations….those ones such as rats.
.
It was only one more step to the idea of putting herself in the frame, so to speak, as the token urban animal!
.
She decided that she would be totally nude in order to be anonymous, with no cultural distractions or obvious points of reference, she would be cast adrift inside the many secret layers of city life.
.
She has been very successful in her endeavours.
