ME: MUSCLES & I

Brief by guest Editor: Stéphane Malysse

Between the “body-sign” and the “instrumental body”, between what we can do with our body (visible on TV, beach and other public spaces), and what we have to do with our body (body manner), considering our free will, the “body-ego” seems to have stimulated several personalities, which incorporate individually the identity images of others bodies...

“Change your body, change your life” or “ You can have the body you want”... in its shape, as well as in its gender. By means of complex mechanisms of body stereotype assimilation, the body becomes a virtual surface, a place where sexual and social identities are nurtured. Saturated of stereotypes the body seems like an unfinished painting, and becomes an auto-plastic object. What is the body capable of? What can I do to be who I want to be? What muscles have to do with me?

WLTF is open to you, yes YOU. It doesn’t matter who you are, all we care about is what you yearn for, deep down inside, in those hard to reach places. And if you can interpret that in images, then that is what we want from you.

What is WLTF?

WLTF is an original, international project without precedent that I run and edit independently with some help from very talented people from around the world.
WLTF is aimed purely at art photography and ideas that are about or deals in some way with sexual desire without being purely pornographic.

WLTF is about the subjective expression of our inner-most desires and all of the different readings that the juxtaposition of images and ideas can potentially generate.

Every online issue is dedicated to images only, and all of the work is edited in juxtaposition as opposed to linear editing by author. The print version will also encompass the work we are developing on the blog, with interviews, features and articles.


What does WLTF mean?
Well, It’s a play on the old WLTM dating acronym... you can work out the rest yeah? No? Ok,
it means Would Like To Fuck.

In the spirit of it all

...

I am an African.

I am born of the peoples of the continent of Africa.

The pain of the violent conflict that the peoples of Liberia, Somalia, the Sudan, Burundi and Algeria is a pain I also bear.

The dismal shame of poverty, suffering and human degradation of my continent is a blight that we share.

The blight on our happiness that derives from this and from our drift to the periphery of the ordering of human affairs leaves us in a persistent shadow of despair.

This is a savage road to which nobody should be condemned.

This thing that we have done today, in this small corner of a great continent that has contributed so decisively to the evolution of humanity says that Africa reaffirms that she is continuing her rise from the ashes.

Whatever the setbacks of the moment, nothing can stop us now! Whatever the difficulties, Africa shall be at peace! However improbable it may sound to the sceptics, Africa will prosper!

Whoever we may be, whatever our immediate interest, however much we carry baggage from our past, however much we have been caught by the fashion of cynicism and loss of faith in the capacity of the people, let us err today and say - nothing can stop us now!

Thank you.

Over the past few years, Design Indaba has witnessed the emergence of a new creative ethos. And with South Africa’s diverse, rich heritage as source material, and inspired by the rebirth of the South African nation, definitions have emerged that move beyond ethnicity, religion, race or language.
