Flavorwire article on FUCKING NEW YORK
Flavorwire just published a feature on FUCKING NEW YORK, the photo series I’ve been shooting across the five boroughs over the past few years—out in the open, where the city looks away but my co-conspirators don’t. The piece gets at the heart of it: women claiming the city in ways that don’t ask permission. The book’s still in the works, the Kickstarter’s live, and for once, it feels like the signal’s landing exactly where it should. Excerpt from the article below.
NSFW Photo Series ‘Fucking New York’ Transforms the City Into a Sexual Playground
New York City is a stern mistress, but there’s just something about her that we can’t get enough of. Fine art fashion photographer Nikola Tamindzic brought together New Yorkers of all ages, shapes, sizes, social/ethnic backgrounds, and states of undress for an ongoing narrative about living in this fine city... and fucking it.
His series FUCKING NEW YORK, a cheeky spin on the relationship the city’s denizens have with the metropolis, captures take-charge, don’t-give-a-fuck women coping a feel, licking, sucking, and writhing against fire hydrants, on police cars, with brownstone lions, along grungy sidewalks, and against filthy windows — all gorgeously shot and styled. The fucking, which plays on the city as a voyeuristic candy land, is abstract, playful, strange, beautiful, ecstatic, and occasionally downright possessed.
Tamindzic is currently seeking support on Kickstarter to turn his saucy series into a hardcover, large-format coffee table book, featuring an appearance by writer/adult performer Stoya, with words by writer Sasha Frere-Jones and artist/writer Molly Crabapple.
