Pics or It Didn't Happen: Images Banned From Instagram

Pics or It Didn't Happen: Images Banned From Instagram

Featuring photographs that have been banned from Instagram, this generously illustrated book explores modern censorship. Instagramâ€™s user guidelines prohibit posting â€œviolent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic, or sexually suggestive photos.â€ Unsurprisingly, these policies have been a source of tension and debate for many creatives who use the social media platform as a means of self-expression. Having received many takedown notices themselves, artists Arvida BystroÌˆm and Molly Soda put out an open call asking avid Instagrammers to submit their own censored images. The result is this collection of pictures from well-known and emerging IG users including Petra Collins, Rupi Kaur, Amalia Ulman, Lina Scheynius, Harley Weir, and dozens more. The book features a wide range of subject matter, from body image and sexual relationships to menstruation and nude selfies. Pushing the boundaries of social media guidelines and social mores, this book reveals a fascinating picture of 21st century societyâ€™s complex views on the image of the human body and censorship.
