Well this was a bit of a shocker.


MEET THE ARTIST WHO NAILED HIS TESTICLES TO THE RED SQUARE
Russian protest artist Petr Pavlensky speaks to Dazed about his gory political action in Moscow



Shock in performance art is nothing new – from Marina Abramovic to Yoko Ono, artists have been burning, mutilating and suffocating themselves for decades. Last Sunday, Petr Pavlensky contributed to this illustrious history by nailing his testicles to the cobblestones of Moscow's Red Square. Deliberately staged to coincide with Police Day, a national commemoration honouring the Russian police forces, it was a daring statement against police control and surveillance.

It's not the first time Pavlensky has pulled off a stunt like this; the overtly political artist has previously sewn his lips shut to protest Pussy Riot's incarceration, and once cocooned himself in barbed wire outside the Legislative Assembly of St Petersburg. In a country that intimidates and imprisons dissidents who dare to speak out against the state, Pavlensky is more than an artist – he's a hero who's more than happy to nail his colours to the mast. So to speak. Now facing charges of hooliganism (the same offence Pussy Riot members were convicted for), he tells Dazed why he's just scared like everyone else.

haha, why not go all the way and use a XXXXL screw and screw it through your testicle.

I don't understand why the russians are famous for doing stuff like this, it's not like it's that bad anymore.
I'm just saying, some of the stuff they do is legit disturbing -.-

Just another typical day in the Motherland.
