Artist REMOVES his rib and wears it as necklace (Perf. Art)
Quote:
When somebody asked artist He Yunchang to show them his body of work, he took the request rather literally.
Never one to turn down the chance to suffer for his art, the Chinese performance artist had one of his own ribs removed - and wore it as a necklace.
In order to perform the operation, held under the supervision of a doctor, he cut a metre-long gash from his neck to his thigh, and filmed it on a camera.
Incredibly, he underwent the entire procedure without any form of anaesthetic.
The work was designed to highlight 'tension between individual and state.'
