Die
Aktfotografie der Alexandria Georgiades ist nicht nur
eine Hommage an die besten Seiten des Mannes, sondern
auch der Versuch, männliche Attribute wie Kraft, Souveränität
und innere Ruhe ebenso in Szene zu setzen, wie seine
Verletzlichkeit. Ihre Aufnahmen erinnern dabei mitunter
an die griechische und römische Bildhauerei oder an die
Kunst der Renaissance, ohne aber die alten Meister zu
kopieren. Vielmehr wird der Versuch unternommen, die
künstlerischen Ideale der Klassik in die Moderne zu
übersetzen. Daß der Künstlerin dies gelingt, verdankt
sie vor allem Ihrer dezenten und anspruchsvollen
Herangehensweise an das Sujet und nicht zuletzt auch der
Hingabe, mit der sie Ihre Aufnahmen ausgeführt hat -
stilvoll und elegant, mitunter provokativ, doch immer
geschmackvoll.

In addition to being
a self-taught artist, Alexandria Georgiades is also an independent film maker, producer, director, and a professional
actress. Last year she premiered her first independent motion
picture, "Riding the Pale Horse", a modern day Greek mythology with
bizarre twists and turns. She also produced and directed the currently hot selling exercise
video, Team NRG's Twelve Round Championship Challenge.
Later this
fall, Alexandria will be producing and directing a music art-video tentatively
titled,"HAIL MARY"
"The
artistically visual story line will embody the controversial sensuality of my
Nude Nuns, with the enigmatic woman from theological history
called, Mary Magdalene. For me, Mary Magdalene represents the much maligned and
forgotten Goddess of the ancient Pagan belief systems. Fundamental
Christianity has not only stripped this woman of the title of
Goddess, and reduced her memory to that of a penitent whore, but has also denied her the
basic rights of lover, wife, and mother."

As
an artist, I find the human body to be the most beautiful form of art.
Without uttering a sound, it speaks volumes beyond the capabilities of
the spoken word.
Growing
up in all over Europe, my childhood was rich in history,
mythology, philosophy, religious beliefs, and
superstitions. My own philosophies, evolved
from these roots, are the inspiration for my drawn art,
photography, motion pictures, and video projects. What I've discovered over the
years, as I continue to travel the world, is that we are all the
same.
Every human-being, regardless of ethnic origin, responds to art in all
its’ forms. Our responses are based on collective and individual belief systems, but we still
respond.
It's
inherent in human nature to be tempted by the
forbidden. . .Taboo. |
