Recreating Adam & Eve As A Proud Couple With A Baby
Censored, safe for work version (see full uncensored version at • Woman Giving Birth With A Snake, Full... )
The tenth and final chapter of Natalie Lennard's art series Birth Undisturbed finds itself in a London taxidermy studio, home to the quietly world-famous "Simon the Stuffa". The story of the creation and religious doctrine has long held that Adam and Eve, in their shame covered their bodies and their sex, and that the pain of childbirth was Eve's curse for all women.
Posing models amongst an army of stuffed giraffes, elephants, birds and zebras, as well as a live snake and a bloodied silicone prosthetic baby, artist Natalie Lennard brings a Noah's Ark twist onto the Genesis story of the creation. In an idea to depict "the first and last man and woman on earth", Natalie ends her five-year long series about childbirth with a provocative and stark portrait of humanity. Simply, to create what is uncommonly seen: a naked man, woman and baby in one photo, surrounded by thirty other species - and at once a pondering question about the future of our own.
