PHOTOGRAPHY

vagina vérité® has been Alexandra's primary artistic and personal occupation since the project was conceived in a conversation with a friend in 2000 about whether they liked the way their vaginas looked. Jacoby has made 107 vagina portraits to date and plans to publish a book of the images, and to exhibit widely.

For more information on the project, or to participate, go to vaginaverite.com, where you'll find over 1,000 pages of questionnaire-responses and articles on vagina-related topics.
