The images have stripped that person of who they are, and replaced their identity with an image “that is first and foremost a sight to be looked at” as Berger states in his video. They may have a bikini or just a revealing outfit that is meant to entice the male sexuality, but the result is the same. I think the internet and social media has created a new version of the nude, that encompasses women who are not even naked. As he mentioned in his previous episode the camera, and as time has progressed technology has somewhat changed the perspective of the nude. I think we have substituted photography for the paintings. I think this applies equally today as it did during the renaissance, or during the 70’s when this video was produced. This is significant in society as it is a reflection of inequality of women and how women are seen and viewed in western culture. Nude is when there is an audience there to judge and sexualize the body of a female. An appropriate example would be a woman in the shower by herself is naked.
He explains that nakedness is just the human female body without clothes. John Berger in episode two of Ways of Seeing, he discusses the difference between nude and nakedness for a woman.
What are the differences between these things and why are these differences significant? Do they apply to images you have encountered in your experience?
