NAKED CONVERSATIONS WITH NUDE WOMEN

As with Nude Not, here Lundy continues his penchant for quirky and provocative moviemaking. This time he was inspired by Bryan Sykes’s 2003 book ‘Adam’s Curse: a Future Without Men’ and Desmond Morris’s latest work, ‘Naked Man’, in which the authors elaborate on the intriguing possibility of the male species’ extinction. Women would no longer need sperm to reproduce; they would do so using stem cell technology. Or in Sykes’s opinion, men will soon surely die out anyway. This poses primordial, wide-ranging questions vis-à-vis the male-female relationship. It is on this bold premise that Lundy launches each 'Naked Conversation' with a nude woman, filmed in reclining pose so as to emulate those iconic works of artists such as Manet, Titian, Goya, Boucher, Matisse, Modigliani and Courbet.

Lundy feels the sheer visual impact of nude women (he started filming in Amsterdam in August 2008, and in addition to the Netherlands he now also has women in France, Finland and Sweden interested in being filmed for this project) will in itself make a potent statement. Lundy is fascinated by ancient matriarchal societies such as those of Egypt and the Mayans, and is interested in theories circulating that propose the world may be on a gradual shift towards a matriarchal society.

What better way than to depict nude women on film so as to symbolize their maternal natures, imbedded in their psyches by dint of sheer gender. Lundy is filming using special soft filters and lenses to give a decidedly dreamy and impressionistic effect, with the intention of inducing in the viewer a surrealistic mood. Thus making a traditional style documentary and elaborating on dense scientific theories is not Lundy’s aim here; he wants his film to be captivating and unique, and positively thought-provoking to the widest possible audience.

Lundy hopes his film will beam a vital metaphor deep into the subconscious: woman the creator, woman as mother nature, as the Gaia goddess, as the symbol of fertility from which all life emerges and is continued. Upon completion the film will be submitted to film festivals worldwide.
