A Body to Live in
Angelo Madsen
Documentary : 97' / Art & Artists, Explicit Content, Fetish, Bodies, Avantgarde

The queer art of Body modification took centre stage in 1989 when Fakir Musafar’s “Modern Primitives” movement hit alternative cultures around the globe via the punk subcultural magazine Re/Search. A photographer, performance artist, and ritualist, Musafar’s work mobilized an entire generation of artists, thinkers, and seekers. A Body To Live in introduces this riveting “Gender Flex” icon to uncover the rich history of western body modification and its complex intersection with sexuality and spiritual practices.
