It is a photo of a naked emaciated kid stuffed in a plastic storage tub.

What kind of weirdo would have something like that hanging in their dining room?
Imagine sitting down to dinner as a guest and just noticing that picture as you are about to eat.
I'm 100% sure my first question would be "Hey umm..what the fuck is THAT?"
There is nothing remotely emaciated about that child.
shareIt's an ugly photo. But it definitely qualifies as art. It's definitely not pornographic. It's more yuck.
But again, it's art. And taste is subjective.
What idiots are giving Curtis flack over her taste in art?
it's not something i would have hanging in my house.
shareNor would I. But it's not unethical. It's art.
shareyou have to be aware of how other people might see it.
shareLike I said, it's an ugly pic. I don't see it as sexual. There are no sexual "parts" being shown.
I understand a pedo might like it. I just include it in the vast array of art I don't like. But I wouldn't ban it as obscene because a pedo might like it. A pedo thinks a pic of Cupid is erotic. So? We don't run the world based on a pedo's sick perspective.
Came to look for pedos claiming "art"...
Yup, here you are.
Have you seen the picture? You don't get to see any naughty bits, the child is not sexualised in any way... If your mind leaps to paedophilia, that's entirely on you.
shareMeh, if you see that pic as sexual, then you have a problem, buddy. I see it as creepy. But one man's art is another man's trash. There's nothing sexual about it.
shareThat's NOT art. I'm willing to believe that it's a picture a mother took of her daughter playing in the yard. However, I don't understand what mother would give such an intimate (and explicit) picture to someone who isn't a close family member or why that someone would hang it in their office, especially since it's an ugly-looking picture.
EDIT: it appears it was NOT simply a picture a mother took of her playing child. It's a whole series of her young daughter, mostly in a state of undress. And it's not as innocent as Curtis makes it out to be:
"Ms Schneider accepts that in some of the photographs her daughter is posing in a fashion which might be considered pornographic if the image were viewed in isolation; but she does not consider that the work, seen as a whole, could be interpreted as obscene."
Exactly. That's a picture that a mother would take of their child and keep to themselves in a family photo album. Blowing the picture up and framing it and giving it as a gift to someone is creepy as fuck.
shareThat is definitely wtf. But how do we know if Jamie chose the art? The picture is outrageous, but who should we be outraged with?

In 2004, her photography caused some controversy in the UK when the police received complaints about nude photographs of her daughter, on display in Spitz Gallery in a group exhibition, "Inventories", an exhibition of four artists whose work addressed family photography. The images were part of a series of pictures from a body of work entitled Quotidian and consisted of three 63-day blocks of daily images of her daughter from birth to nine weeks, two years and five years old.
I think the child's facial expression has a lot to do with why people are reacting the way they are. She looks very serious and isn't laughing or smiling like a child having fun normally would be. But perhaps her mother told her to make a serious face thinking it would look more artsy.
Anyway, I don't think Jamie is a pedophile and I don't think she's into child sacrifice, devil worship, and human trafficking like people try to make her out to be. People have been saying a lot of ridiculous stuff about her because of a picture on a wall. It isn't like it's some random child she'd never seen nor met. She was given the photo as a gift by the mother so I expect it is a child she knew and had a personal bond with. And to most of us it may look creepy, but perhaps to her it represents something else like the innocence, freedom, and carefree nature of childhood.
