Berlin Castle Porn by Richard Schemmerer

Berlin Castle Porn

In this contemporary world we romanticized castle and with it its parks art and sculptures. We stare at the naked wonders in awe of the craftsmanship forgetting that it was an elite that glorified themselves in these monuments of decadence. The body is displayed in full frontal view even if the morals of the day were oppressive at least to the populous that stood under the control of religious zealotry.
Millions of tourist race to take in the nude masterpieces to re-imagine history to their fitting but history is not in the eye of the beholder or the winner. It carries forward the mistakes and the atrocities committed against the powerless masses. sorry to say that this principle has still not changed.

Just like in real Porn theses displays cover up the systematic mind manipulation that we are exposed to. This promotion of past glamour is reflected in contemporary society through advertising and the amplified projections of body image creating a artificial need in us to become more then we actually are.

Berlin is littered with naked remnants and a good reminder that the pendulum has to kept in balance to be healthy for body and mind.
