Discomfort can compell us to assert ourselves more alive and liberated from our determinants. In this project, I conducted the women models into experimenting with a set of vertical geometry and constraints they were fully unfamiliar with, as they were all non-climbers. I chose rocks and climbing routes with few possibility to move arounds the holds. The conflict between the athletic possibilities of their bodies and the semantic grammar of the holds helped to escape from the sexualization and essentialist discourses that enclose nude photography.
