Is Cosplay a Performance Art or porn?

Cosplay… Art or porn? I’ll start by saying that everyone owns their life and we can do with our body and our taste whatever we want! But giving our opinions we must respect the others And do not cross the line of respect, and knowing how to express without offending others.

We must also understand that we must not misinterpret the commentary of others so here we need a open mind. Now as a cosplayer, cosmaker and lover of this art, sometimes I feel a little offended when some people want to invent another stuff for cosplay like: fanservis, cosporn and other variants … looking just for other purposes.

Maybe for pornographic purposes, purposes to search fans, and they sell the art of cosplay as something else. There are very creative variants of coplay like gijinka, beautiful artwork of cosplayer. There is also the steampunk people mix it with anime characters and it look so beautiful eg sailor moon Steampunk! I love that one! Someday I will do it.

Sexy Nude Cosplay

There are also genderbenders because then it will be totally disoriented of cosplay. And then there’s the Furry Cosplay you dress like teddy of any character also if you cannot show your face. But this is so cool for those who dare to do this. Talking with a friend about this topic. He told me the pages of one of the most famous cosplayers that always shows her boobies, a fan asked in a photo that does not show anything.. where are your boobies? This makes me think … there are fans looking at you just for your body and not for your art… your cosplay. Then you stop.. and think …. do you really want fans that follow you for that? Or for your art and your creations? It happened to me once, when I posted my cosplay of Akane a very conservative cosplay a girl.

Sexy Naked Cosplay Girls

I love when people talk to me and write to me, is very cute l! I love it! But it got my attention because she told me did not like it, that she preferred me to be with hottest characters they look better on me. But the cosplay is not always being sexy is being with characters that you like. It is enough if you like the design personality, or cuz you are in a cosplay group anything can be a motivator for cosplay, it does not have to be always sexy to see you nice and expose your art I made sexy cosplays and I do not feel bad for it!

Sexy Anime Girl Cosplay

Example! I did my bodysuit of Princess Serenity, in the final chapter where she appears naked and my presentation was Sailor Moon naked! I had my body suit and left everything to the imagination of the public… But it appears in the anime and I was not being obscene Dizzy is another super sexy and revealing character but I made adaptations without altering the essence of the character Saeko’s character is super sexy and I did sexy without showing more.

If you see the character artwork is super Hechi but hey! ! I had fun doing! I am a woman, I like women sensuality without having to reach beyond. Not obscene! Nude art! Not so delicate topic, you can do nudes a bit controversial in the fact that not many characters make artistic nudes without being obscene eg Lucy elfen lied in the illustrations is naked and you can do art…

But not going to pick a character like .. Akane tendo and will oppose two pigs here and go like. That is going somewhere else .. The problem is not the girls that in my opinion are selling their bodies and are denigrating and not giving respect as women

And excuse me girls who have done so, do not think I`m judging you, everyone does what they want with their lives.. the real problem become when people follow this as an art and it is not art is something else.

The cosplay is a beauty of art You can be sexy not being obscene, that’s my slogan. Always! I really admire Cosplayers, and they show a lot they make good work as cosmakers.

God made us as we are and we must be satisfied with our body. But the world of cosplay has caught the attention of many girls girls to get fake boobies only for getting attention, and I go back and tell the same…. cosplay is not for that, the cosplay is to expose art, to play as the character, not for change your body and find more fans. It is my opinion I do not want anyone offended

Cornelia Parker’s PsychoHouse, Contemporary Art

Well, when I was offered to make something for this great spot on the roof, I was very daunted because the skyline is so amazing. So I thought I wanted to put something architectural on the roof, kind of incongruous– you know, a domestic house.

Originally it was going to be a red barn, but then I realized quite quickly that red barns are far too big to go on the roof. And then I was looking at Hopper, Edward Hopper paintings, and he painted a house called the “House by the Railroad,” and reading about it, I realized that Hitchcock had based his “Psycho”house on this painting, and I really loved that. Hopper also painted lots of red barns, and so my red barn came back into play again, and I thought, “Well, why don’t I make the house out of the red barn?”

I collaborated with a restoration company who go around America and they take down old barns, and so the roof of this house is made from the corrugated metal from the barn roof, the siding is made, obviously, from the siding of the barn. So this is the barn reconfigured. So I quite like to take the idea of the barn being this quite wholesome thing, this, you know, lovely thing about the landscape and the countryside and politicians like standing in front of red barns because it typifies wholesomeness. And then the “Psycho” house is the opposite, it just All the dark psychological stuff you don’t really want to look at.

I was very inspired to find the original set from “Psycho” was only two flats all propped up from behind, like a stage set would be, and it was filmed from a particular angle, so you only saw the house side-on. I’ve built the house in the same angle, I’ve tipped it into the corner. And then if you go around the back, and you see it’s all propped up, and you realize it’s a facade. But I wanted it to be believable from this angle. So that the roof garden becomes the garden of this house. So I like the idea of the privet hedge around The Met roof, and then hunkering in the corner is this, this sinister house.

So I like the idea that you take things that perhaps seem cliched, but they’re cliched for a reason. They resonate with a huge amount of people, and that’s why they’re the most visited spots. And I somehow think the inverse of the cliche is the most unknown place.

ParaPivot by Alicja Kwade – Contemporary Art Installation

It’s very symbolic to put something on the “hat”, let’s say, atop of all we have achieved in the last thousands and thousands of years. My work actually is about structures. And time is one structure. It’s very basic forms, you have squares and spheres. And the frames stand for human made systems, we build buildings for the development of our reality but also for the development of our society. And I tried to get stones from all over the world—from India, Finland, Italy, China, and I try somehow to meld our planet earth back together. So it’s like looking at yourself from a very strange perspective. They look like planets because they are stones and they are millions and millions of years old, so it is like compressed time. It’s a lot about time and space so I try somehow to look at those both systems and how they interact.

In my studio, you know, we did like a 3-D animation to see how it would appear and interact with the skyline. I was not getting that far to calculate the position of the moon, but of course I was hoping those moments when the two other spheres which are you know guiding us all the day and all the year would appear from time to time. What I’m fascinated about is basic human questions as what reality is, why we are here, and the limitation of our senses which are not allowing us to ever really answer those questions.
