Porn Stars by Ethan Shoshan AKA Disiterate

Get it? It’s quite simple, actually. It’s a bunch of porn stars. This is the work of the ever-so-clever Ethan Shoshan – designer and Social Ecologist from New York, New York. He’s got quite the absolutely impressive biography, written simply below if you care to take a peek. The rest of the porn stars are there too. It is a party.

Porn Stars, 2009
folded porn magazines, various sizes & dimensions

Surplus ingeniousness results in genius works of excellence if, and only if, you’ve got the guts in your guts to set that geniousness to paper. To clay, to ink, to paint. And when you’ve got a subject matter so volatile as pornography, all you’ve got to do is fold it!

Ethan Shoshan is a social ecologist known for his disruptions in public spaces, gritty conversations, and lack of boundaries. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Ethan studied Astrophysics and Visual Arts at Rutgers University, NJ and has written and published an imaginative post-critical novel on love as well as astrophysics research on energy disturbance with Princeton University. Previous works utilize various media and many creative platforms using visual media, performance, sound, video, installation, clothes, and cooking.

He has worked as a collaborator/co-founder of the it/EQ community arts collective from 2005 – 2008, working to promote arts/artists in a community exchange through showcasing vital unknown artists, providing multicultural exchanges, and visibility to minority or underrepresented people. He is currently living and working in New York City as yoga practitioner and volunteering for various community organizations.

Never underestimate the power of one really weird project in your portfolio.
