Neü Sex Sasha Grey Neü Sex Sasha Grey Sasha Grey, rising adult film and pop-culture star, takes control in her new monograph neü sex , moving out from in front of the camera to behind it, turning the lens on the wild world she inhabits. “When I first got into the adult industry, I decided to take my photography much more seriously. I started taking a camera with me to capture my experiences on set, so it was a moment in time, a memory for myself—not the video that would be seen by thousands of people. On days where I was physically unable to capture an image, Ian, my fiancé, became my third arm. He understands my aesthetic, or lack thereof. Ian is a photographer, yet the work in this book is quite different from his usual style. When you are so close with someone, there is a shorthand and true understanding of what the other person is trying to accomplish. If there’s something I am physically unable to photograph, I can say one word and Ian can assist me with my vision. Ian can capture intimate moments with me that nobody can fabricate, because of our relationship. The strong sense of familiarity eliminates all boundaries between the subject and the photographer. “Documenting myself has almost become a necessity. “There are so many photos of me, taken by other people, that aesthetically I have no control over. Documenting myself allows me to reflect on the day, on the feelings I am having at that second. When you work in the entertainment industry, there are always surprises; there certainly isn’t one day that is similar to the last. Personally, it’s important to embrace this and appreciate it every day. “Still images vividly capture emotion, a second in time that can be left open for interpretation by the viewer and the creator. I am inspired by the work of Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin. Sherman’s work continues to inspire me to develop certain characters. I figured if I am on set I might as well take advantage of my surroundings, and document my life in an exciting, untraditional manner. I look back at photos, and see how much I’ve grown, how my opinions have changed, and how they will continue to change.” —Sasha Grey Neü Sex Details Date : Published March 29th 2011 by Vice Books (first published August 31st 2010) ISBN : 9781576875568 Author : Sasha Grey Format : Hardcover 192 pages Genre : Art, Photography, Nonfiction, Sexuality, Autobiography, Memoir Download Neü Sex ...pdf Read Online Neü Sex ...pdf PDF File: Neü Sex... 2 Read and Download Ebook Neü Sex...

From Reader Review Neü Sex for online ebook DoctorM says Sasha Grey's "Neu Sex" doesn't break new ground in terms of erotic photos, but the photos are evocative and alluring. Ms. Grey's accompanying text is very much worth reading--- thoughtful and well-put. Ms. Grey is a figure who is worth considering--- excellent musical work with aTelecine, good dj skills, intelligence and serious acting skill as well as her obvious sexuality and her ability to push limits and show the attraction of transgression. "Neu Sex" is a photo collection worth having. Shana Scudder says Not much text, but I like the idea of object-turned-subject that works throughout this book, and how she tells so much of her story through images -- images that she controls, unlike her video image over which she admits she has little control. Peppered with references to Western philosophers who help to frame her self- depiction, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in issues of female empowerment and subjectivity within an industry that has the reputation of promoting the opposite ideals. Geoffrey says Waste of time. Book cover and title fooled me. I thought it might be interesting, entertaining, and creative. In truth, the book just contains a collection of snapshots and photos and does not resemble that type of art I was expecting. Of all the photos in the book, only a few have some creative style and intent. I could pass on the photos of puke and vomit on the floor. The layout is nice, but overall it is not worth my money. Disappointed. Lila says Im love sasha gary Dana Jerman says Wish there was more of Sasha's writing here, but she probably kept it short because she felt she got her point across. Great self portraiture- she lets her eyes work the whole show and I would have loved to see a real full-on toothy grin. I wonder how much of her identity is tied up in having long hair? Codey Wright says PDF File: Neü Sex... 4 Read and Download Ebook Neü Sex... While it isn't exactly what you think it is, it is truly eye opening to a person rather than a persona. Sasha Grey may of had a profession you can not respect, but you must respect the person who hasn't played a card of why she was in the business. She chose to be and embraced it and made a name and a career outside of it while still in it. And has truly a wide thought process on many a things. She is an individual and a person and that's what she makes very clear in her book. She isn't a piece of meat to consider a play thing. While the some pictures are truly candid some still feel very much staged. The pictures when she's just woken up, about to go to bed or out on the town very obviously not being her persona of Sasha Grey are the most candid. And that she had love on that journey is what impresses me most. Russell Grant says Ultimately a waste of time. The photo's are not all that bad, and none of them are all that great either. It's more of a wasted opportunity since she want's the work to speak for itself while offering goofy pseudo- intellectual blurbs. None of it works so really, if this was her resulting feminist statement after pushing a porn career, it was all a bit of a waste. Andrew Nolan says Some of the photos are "nice", though how many of them are actually show an unguarded and more intimate portrayals of Grey's life is debatable. Many of the pictures look more like Grey acting through her idea of what an unguarded moment looks like rather than a genuine glimpse into her downtime between shoots. There are some interesting images in the book, you just have to trawl through vast amount of pictures that look like any young woman's social media photo collection; mugging for the camera being held at arms length, self portrait in her underwear in the bathroom mirror with a cell phone ad infinitum. Grey describes her work in the adult film industry as performance art and large sections of this book appear to be a part of that same performance, just manifested in a different way. She's given us a version of one kind of intimacy and now she's giving us another, but neither are particularly 'real' and that's probably the point. Unfortunately Grey's writing is largely dire and it's hard to fathom why, she's clearly not stupid, but her pieces read as if she hasn't reread them and they've just been published without much self-critiquing or external editing. The surprising thing is that whatever your opinion about Vice magazine might be, they generally have a high standard of writing and editing, so why Grey's pieces were passed in this form is perplexing. Her writing veers from fortune cookie relationship advice to a "what i did on my summer vacation" style dissection of male power in the adult film industry. Very sad, not least because a Sasha Grey armed with a Foucauldian (for example) analysis of the structures within the adult film industry would be very powerful. And it's something i suspect she's capable of, she just needs an editor that's not laughing behind her back at the cute porno star trying to think big; at times it reads like she's being given enough rope to hang herself with.

Bouman says En resumen, a pesar de no querer serlo, Neü sex resulta ser una voz dentro de la industria del porno, no duda en hablar de los conflictos internos, los egos, los temas tabús entre bambalinas, los papeles estereotipados a los que debe afrontarse en cada película, … (leer más) MayaElena LeSire says I love her idea behind this book. I absolutely love Sasha Grey, as a woman. She's the definition of a creative, strong, woman, she proves you cannot stereotype porn stars into a category. She's an individual with a story, a story in the form of exhibition. PDF File: Neü Sex... 6.
