Many many good ones as always so of course it is only possible to make some passing reference to the most excellent.

broughttoknees.jpg I like this one for its elegant cruelty, in theory she could get herself off of her knees for a while but the discomfort would be horrendous and the posture too awkward to hold. So she is made to kneel at her cross in a near voluntary or at least complicit act. I also notice in 4/2.20 that some lucky artist snapped our dear Julia practising her passion :D and 3/2.20 has allowed her clothes but of interestingly revealing nature ;)

Thank you dear Symp.
 
2.22 Studies In Cruciform 2.22

Performance Art:
This is a departure for me - not that much into blood
(Though I don't think it's real here)
This is a kind of performance piece​
(I'm going to cover some more performers in the next few days.)​
As for this girl?​
Seems to making some sort of point,​
I don't expect to see her at Sunday School anytime soon...​
In any case the website is big and bold on​
the pictures, so you can do your own investigations...​
Enjoy​

As promised, some Performance Art:
(Maybe not entertaining, but educational I hope.)
Marina Abramovic
The Serbian Artiste is called the
'Godmother of Performance Art' with reason.
Among her pieces (MOMA), she sat at a table facing​
any spectator willing to sit opposite and try to out-stare her.
They were limited to one minute.
She sat unmoving - no bathroom breaks - for 750 hours.

Another is the famous nude man and woman
in museum doorway (patrons have to squeeze through).
tumblr_mrob3qob8c1sfw4pgo6_400.jpg marina-abramovic-ulay-imponderabillia-1977.jpg
Another inviting spectators to use any
of several items (including a pistol)
in any way they chose against her body.
Here someone whips her with long-stemmed roses.

Another favorite is when she cuts a star in her abdomen

lies down on ice for a few hours

then proceeds to whip herself bloody.

(She has been known to lose consciousness.)
Tune in tomorrow for the good stuff.
 
Tree's sister Joan would prefer this. Tree prefers to crucify pristine bodies. He feels they enhance his trade... as the girls of the Great Slave Rebellion will soon learn...

Marina Abramovic 2/3
This piece is called 'Luminosity'
Someone called for some "pristine bodies to crucify"?
These ladies are about as pristine as they come.
(Abramovic's piece is part of a touring exhibition
UK, NYC, Sydney and was "re-performed"
by local dancers and artistes.)
I don't expect any better than these brave ladies,
self-crucifixion at that...
No ropes no nails - just a bicycle seat.
(Yeah? You try it!)

The others, local artistes,to whom I raise my hat.

I do not know you​
You don't me​
A rare moment in time​
I need the cross​
and you offer me that​
No sex!​
you can rape me once I'm nailed​
I guess​
but would it be rape?​
You did not force me here​
oh...​
The nails heighten every sense I have then​
No!​
Not there!!!​
not...​
oh that was good​

As usual, all credit belongs to the
photographers, models, and original posters.
I am but their humble servant.

#2 in 2.28 seems to exhibiting a touch more arrogance as opposed to submission. Intended or not this most be addressed...
