Vesa @gnagy It just came to mind that German performance artist Joseph Beuys, in a early 70's exhbition, simply slept with a dead rabbit, which I read was his own chosing; likely better than a porcupine. As for my personal, experience, I'm glad to say, 'no'. Bizarre image that looks like someone tortured or plain simply dead. -Vesa.

gnagy @Vesa LOL.. and yes, he led an interesting life..... But at the end torture, pain, dead, whether we like it or not, are part of life.

Vesa @gnagy Looks more like a lady figure; anyway a little hard to tell; no matter, the context is disturbing I think for many; I take it for what it is to me. Just wonder how real this is or staged? Curious me asks. No reply necessary. Thanks. -Vesa.

gnagy @Vesa Really appreciated your honestly, and I am really glad you see it that way, It is actually a self-portrait supposed to make you feel like when sleep with someone you don't like at all... The image is real as it has very little post-processing, and staged as it is a studio shot... I really don't mind replying :-)

Vesa @gnagy The b x w really adds to the dramatic effect. Now that I understand the psychology of it, to the eye it seems like in the process here had to be more time spent on the much detail,body 'matter', getting the right angles, and all, but I get a sense of spontaneity more;- you likely were avoiding a contrived outcome. -Vesa.
