words on the skin



I really don't like those behavior art like carving words on the skin. This is the work designed by American designers Jenny Holzer and Tibor Kalman for a German magzine. They mixed blood with printing ink and wrote it onto the skin to enhance the power of the work.

Such behavior will certainly attract attention as well as making people nervous and serious, especially when they are carving instead of wrting words on their skins. The skin is the symbol of life, so using skin as a media of communication is a serious problem, as they are likely to take their own lifes as a risk. People who act in this way must have something really important or vital to say or who must be very characteristic, or at least, desperate for people's attention.

It is an action can arouse audiences' attention, echo as well as sympathy. Seriously, it must be an effective way to communicate. Howerver, to me ,it just makes me feel insane and disgusting just as a blood letter.
