Stormy the virgin

STORMY Daniels as the Virgin Mary? “Virgin,” a show of photos by

Nika Nesgoda, opens Thursday at the Spur, the Southampton co-working space and social club.

Inspired by Caravaggio, who used a prostitute model for “Death of the Virgin” in the early 1600s, Nesgoda had adult-film actresses Stormy,

Tera Patrick (who has since retired from the industry) and others pose as the Virgin Mother in 2002.

“Stormy doesn’t care what other people think of her. She’s a free spirit,” Nesgoda told The Post. “My show’s a playful look at art history. Pornography is art that we deem excessive in a way. Throughout history, women were seen as virgins or whores. I’m not trying to be ironic. With art you look at something and make a judgment whether you like it — but things are not always what they seem.”

The show has 15 images, each depicting a moment in the life of the Virgin Mary, based on actual paintings. “The Stormy one [right] is based on 1333’s ‘Annunciation,’ which I chose because the woman in the painting looked like she’s seen things in life, not like an empty-headed virgin. She has the same expression as Stormy has in my photo,” said Nesgoda.

The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue said, “I have a suggestion . . . Why doesn’t she do an exhibit called ‘ Mo- hammad’ that features Harvey Weinstein and Anthony Weiner as the prophet? That might attract a crowd, but I’d make sure to call the bomb squad first.”

Nesgoda was raised Catholic and says she’s not making fun of religion. “What I’m trying to say is, all of us are created equal, and there’s no reason why any one of us shouldn’t be able to portray virgins or saints.” She’s donating all proceeds to Neo-Political Cowgirls, a theater group based in East Hampton that educates kids about art and its therapeutic aspects.
