JOHN COPLANS
Born in 1920 in London, United Kingdom
Died in 2003 in New York, United States
Aiming the camera only towards himself, John Coplans questioned popular culture’s crystallized take on the male body and its connection to classical sculpture, producing humanist counter-monuments that underscore ideas of decay and vulnerability.
Nakedness removes the body from the specificity of time: unclothed, it belongs to the past, present, and future.
