NSFW’s Lorde pictures have spread, sparking debate on social media about why singers choose all new album releases virgin.
This photo appears in the vinyl version of the record, showing Lorde wearing a pair of sheer pants without lingerie. Make up so that her waist is barely visible, this photo echoes the cover of the album, an x-ray of the pelvis of the artist Heji Shin’s singer.
Artist Talia Chetrit appears to be the photographer of the picture in a liner notes posted by fans to Reddit earlier this week. Chetrit previously shot Lorde, filming for the cover of one of the album’s singles, “What That”, which includes the singer’s face, dripping with a translucent substance that could be entirely water, sweat or something.
Many of Chetrit’s photos feature themselves and others in various undressing states, often commenting on the role of pornographic desires and power in our view. She told Flash Art In 2018. She works on the Fashion Magazine Council and presents her art in the gallery.
Pants similar to those worn by Lorde also appeared in at least two other photos of Chetrit, both of which were self-portraits. In both cases, the artist is placed in front of the mirror, spreading his legs and holding the camera on his face.
of Plastic nude (2016), Amanda Maddox wrote aperture Last year, “While Chetrit’s transparent outfit has little imagination, it is not completely dripping by default. Perhaps this image is an evocation of striptease, as Roland Barthes describes it, based on paradoxical, but it is based on one paradoxical: she is standing out in the moment of nakedness when she is exposed.” Again, as she leans against the piano, her plastic-wrapped torso and legs can be almost observed, I can’t help but think of the deceptive woman in the flesh stock of flesh.

From this perspective, Lorde’s new photo says virginMore broadly care about a person’s inner self, especially in terms of gender. “Sometimes I’m a woman, sometimes I’m a man,” Lorde sang on the opening track “Hammer.” On the album, she once said that during the production process, “I began to understand my gender more than I thought.”
Throughout the album’s performance, Lorde reversed gender conventions. In the video of “People of the Year”, she recorded her breasts and writhed over a pile of soil, citing Walter de Maria’s New York Earth Room (1977), the iconic work of The Land Art Movement. Although women like Agnes Denes and Nancy Holt are also associated with it, the movement has always been consistent with the masculinity of a certain brand.
“Today, land art seems to be an almost perfect distillation of the history of male privilege in the art world, with a firm belief that men have the right to enjoy the space to roam and make their mark; however, women have never enjoyed this privilege,” Megan O’Grady in 2018. virgina song called “David”, whose name is probably an allusion to Michelangelo’s sculpture, is arguably the most famous male nude in art history.

this virgin Vinyl’s photos also point to a contradiction: Despite Lorde’s almost no imagination of the torso, we still don’t see all aspects of her gender identity. It’s also obvious, according to Shin’s photos on the album cover, one of the many X-rays she took. As Shin said Artnews In 2019, “Even if you can see me, you can learn less about what’s going on.”
Most social media users are not involved in the delicate ideas proposed by Chetrit and Shin photography Lorde. Some people question why the vinyl photo wasn’t controversial, and this is the cover of a recent Sabrina Carpenter album, which features a pop star kneeling in front of a man who can see her hair. (Carpenter then released the new cover art that she joked about being “approved by God.”)
A post with 86,000 likes seems to mock the photo as “groundbreaking” while marking the carpenter cover as “anti-feminist”. Its X page notes that they operate a parody account, and then wrote in a follow-up tweet: “Today, while our women are still fighting for our rights, influencers do weird things about the weird things that interact. Both covers are weird.”
In response to the post, one user was apparently citing Madonna’s 1992 gender The book, wrote: “No need for all words. Madonna in the 90s will kill you all.”
