Seven Demons Got Out

 

 

The seven deadly sins have already been the theme of many art realizations. Our contribution was adding to the sins an erotic-digital-virtual vision to each of the seven. One could say that it is a freudian interpretation, because in a sensual or concealed way eroticism is always present. Our intent is not shock the viewer, but induce him to feel and analyse the purpose of each one in spite of possible distress at the first sight. We prefered not reveal the pornographic side of each situation to give a better wholeness to personal interpretations, as the work was done collaboratively by three artists.
