As if Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton needed their leaked nude photos to be displayed anywhere else.
Cory Allen Contemporary Art has announced that Los Angeles-based artist XLAVA will include the pictures — unaltered and life-size — in an upcoming art gallery in St. Petersburg, Fla., as part of his "Fear Google" campaign.
The upcoming show, opening Oct. 30, will be titled "No Delete," and will also include seven years worth of other leaked images of celebrities "in their most vulnerable and private moments, that were comprised by either hackers or the paparazzi," according to a news release.
"We share our secrets with technology," said XVALA. "And when we do, our privacy becomes accessible to others."
The artist has been using celebrity images as art for years, including a portrait of Britney Spears with her shaved head and nude images of Scarlett Johansson, the news release says.
"XVALA appropriating celebrity compromised images and the overall 'Fear Google' campaign has helped strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era," said publicist Cory Allen.
He adds:
"The commentary behind this show is a reflection of who we are today. We all become 'users' and in the end, we become 'used'."
We get the idea, kind of, but we can't shake the creepiness of it all.
