You don't own me - 3 Photograph

Manipulated black & white photograph Emmanuel Gimeno originally shot this series on film 20 years ago. More recently, Gimeno replaced the film's technical inscription with its new title, "You Don't Own Me"... plus some additional comments. This intrusive shot is a reminder of the way girls and women are being stared at; up and down. On this series, he says," I often try to create a shortfall and hope to bring up the possible underlying emotion. I always hated the way many men perceive women; the way they look at them, the way they talk about them. the way they treat them. I love watching women expressing resistance these days. Women have their own dark places that probably go beyond men's imagination. This is what fascinates me the most, especially when society has been projecting so much of what men want to see out of them. Raw nudity in darkness is telling that intimacy goes way deeper than a naked body.
