ART FEED : Joel Peter Witkin (NSFW)

Posted by: Tony – May 30, 2011

EVIL! DISGUSTING! SICK! I am keeping it tame but a lot worse has been said by critics and supporters alike. He is considered a genius too but artist Joel Peter Witkin has caused outrage wherever he has been and you can see why. These are not computer generated cadavers, they were once living creatures now turned into marionettes and actors for his own vignettes. He blurs the lines and brings up conflicting emotions.

Feel free to feel "weird" about it.
WARNING: The images are disturbing and not for everyone.

He inspired the video for Nine Inch Nails "Closer"

Nine Inch Nails: Closer (Uncensored) (1994) from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

Which inspired one my personal favorites spoofs..
