The n**e self-portrait is the most vertiginous gesture in photography: turning the camera on yourself, and un******ng in front of it.

Our new feature traces this thread across a century, from Raoul Hausmann’s 1931 Dada n**es to Arno Rafael Minkkinen’s landscapes, from Peter Hujar’s Seated Self-Portrait Depressed to the culture war Robert Mapplethorpe never lived to see, from Francesca Woodman’s posthumous canonization to Renée Cox’s « Get over it. »
Not to mention the series of n**e self-portraits by Anna Mendieta, John Coplans, Élina Brotherus,Sandra Mjöll Jónsdóttir, and Zanele Muholi.

Eleven photographers, eleven very different answers to the same question: what did baring your own body actually do to your career? Some paid for it in scandal. Some waited decades to be seen at all. Some built an entire late-career reinvention on it, and never faced a single controversy.

"Stone-born men" series

En Égypte, à l’ombre des pierres millénaires, ils veillent.
À Karnak, leurs silhouettes glissent entre les colonnes géantes gravées de hiéroglyphes. À Louxor, ils regardent passer les visiteurs comme on regarde passer les siècles. Face au désert, à Gizeh, ils gardent l’entrée d’un monde vieux de cinq mille ans. Et sur l’île de Philae, entourée par les eaux du Nil, leurs pas résonnent sur la pierre chauffée par le soleil.
Ils ne sont ni prêtres ni pharaons. Pourtant, ils appartiennent au temple.
Assis à l’ombre d’un mur sculpté ou marchant lentement entre les colonnades, ils sont les gardiens silencieux d’un dialogue entre passé et présent.
Car les temples d’Égypte ne vivent pas seulement par leurs dieux anciens, mais aussi par les hommes qui veillent encore sur leurs portes.

In Egypt, in the shadow of ancient stones, they keep watch.
In Karnak, their silhouettes glide between giant columns engraved with hieroglyphics. In Luxor, they watch visitors pass by as one watches centuries pass. Facing the desert in Giza, they guard the entrance to a world that is five thousand years old. And on the island of Philae, surrounded by the waters of the Nile, their footsteps echo on the sun-heated stone.
They are neither priests nor pharaohs. Yet they belong to the temple.
Sitting in the shade of a carved wall or walking slowly between the colonnades, they are the silent guardians of a dialogue between past and present.
For the temples of Egypt live not only through their ancient gods, but also through the men who still watch over their doors.
