For all I know this project is nothing more than the illuminati sickos taunting the pizzagate crowd with in-your-face symbolism. But at any rate, it’s worth noting.

The “Museum of Pizza” is a pop up coming to NYC for two weeks in fall of 2018. Promotions feature garishly colored, eroticised imagery of adults, seniors and kids posing with pizza. The museum is the brainchild of Kareem Rahma and his digital media company, Nameless Network (https://namelessnetwork.com). According to startup investment page https://angel.co/, Kareem has also worked at New York Times and VICE Media.

“An experiential exhibition dedicated to one beloved victual and promoted as the perfect backdrop for Instagram selfies is nothing groundbreaking in 2018; Rahma credits the wildly popular Museum of Ice Cream for sparking his own pizza-inspired concept. What is unique about the Museum of Pizza is the first phase of its marketing campaign: A series of fashion magazine spread-style photos depicting models of all colors, ages, genders and sexual orientations eating pizza in highly eroticized ways. A muscly man, nude except for his briefs, feeds himself and a woman straight out of an American Apparel ad. An S&M aficionado wearing a gimp mask and plastic bolero eats a pepperoni slice out of the hand of an off-camera partner. A gender-queer pizza-lover dangles a plain slice in front of their genitalia.

No, the family-friendly museum will not be a sexual one, Rahma promises. But its first set of promotional images — composed by photographer Kate Owen, populated by subjects who turned up at an open casting call and fueled by dozens of pies from Two Boots, Williamsburg Pizza and Fornino — are intentionally sensual and provocative: “It started with this idea of pizza fetish.”

The Museum of Pizza is less about pizza as food than pizza “as ideology,” says the 31-year-old Nameless Network CEO who previously worked as director of audience development for the New York Times’ video arm and as associate director of global marketing for Vice Media.

“We’re looking at … the reasons why everyone from the working class to the internet media cool kids and Twitter people love pizza so much. It’s less about eating it and more about thinking about it and fetishizing it.”
