Venus Beach is an Afrofemale planet dreamed by French photographer Pol Kurucz. On Venus Beach synthetic is organic, male is female and color is light. Galaxies away from racism, misogyny and terrestrial inequalities the inhabitants of Venus beach live a free, eccentric and glamorous life.

Venus Beach was shot in Brooklyn with African and Afro American models only. The series mixes fine art and fashion elements and features creations from fresh local brands.
