Crimson Bodies is an academic research project that investigates the fetishization of blood through multiple artistic and cultural lenses. Developed within the framework of a study on the aesthetics of fetish, the work moves across photography, cinema, fashion, art, and performance to explore how blood is staged, consumed, and symbolized.
 
Blood, once intimate and taboo, becomes desire and repulsion, carrying with it histories of violence, ritual, sexuality, and spectacle. By analyzing its representations across media, the project examines how blood functions both as a visual motif and as a material charged with symbolic power.
 
The research situates blood as more than a bodily substance: it is an aesthetic object, a fetish that oscillates between sacred and profane, beauty and horror, attraction and fear. Crimson Bodies reveals how blood continues to captivate cultural imagination and unsettle the boundaries of art and desire.
