Even today, artists continue to make radical statements through the process of juxtaposing elements of found matter \u2013 with the exception that it is more likely to happen with the click of a mouse rather than with glue and a pair of scissors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the Instagram account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/scientwehst\/\">@scientwehst<\/a>, a 27-year-old, Brooklyn-based artist (who would prefer to remain anonymous) continues in the bold tradition of cut and paste subversion.

Her digital collages consist of snapshots of elegant architectural structures suggestively placed over images of naked women pulled from porn and glamour magazines. While these are definitely NSFW, they are making a provocative statement about female sexuality and bodies in the hypocritical era of gendered social media censorship.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXJUyYugw74\/?utm_source=ig_embed","settings":{"width":"10"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The artist wholeheartedly agrees that her collages are rebellious. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely! I started making them as an act of solidarity when the #freethenipple movement started on social media a few years back\u201d, she confirms. \u201cA lot of my friends and people in the community were speaking out against the censorship of women\u2019s bodies. My collages were created to be a part of that conversation, to challenge Instagram\u2019s community guidelines.

Individual collages \u2014 as well as her entire account \u2014 have been removed from Instagram for violating community standards. Of this, the artist says: &#8220;<\/span>I was confused, of course.

The nude areas that I overlay with architecture are typically sexualised by men. If we replace the body with a bridge, or the interior of a museum, for example, you end up sexualising the object and not the subject.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And why architecture? \u201cIt wasn\u2019t premeditated, it actually happened naturally. Initially, when I started creating these collages, I was looking for anything that remotely looked like a woman\u2019s curvature. I believe it was a curved hallway that sparked my interest to solely use architecture&#8221;, the artist explains. &#8220;There are many similarities between the places we inhabit and our bodies&#8221;. The result is whip-smart satirical collage that fuses the organic with the inorganic, challenging the frustrating double-standards of the internet age.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfZDSW9AJUE\/?taken-by=scientwehst","settings":{"width":"10"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUx4O2NgpX9\/?utm_source=ig_embed","settings":{"width":"10"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BV81CIygpS8\/?taken-by=scientwehst","settings":{"width":"10"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>@scientwehst Challenges the Male Gaze by Merging Bodies with Buildings<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Brooklyn collage artist&#039;s NSFW Instagram account is taking on the infuriating hypocrisies of social media censorship.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/scientwehst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"@scientwehst Challenges the Male Gaze by Merging Bodies with Buildings\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Brooklyn collage artist&#039;s NSFW Instagram account is taking on the infuriating hypocrisies of social media censorship.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/scientwehst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-30T09:00:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-11-12T08:25:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
