Petr Pavlensky

Pyotr Andreyevich Pavlensky is a Russian contemporary artist. He is known for his controversial political art performances, which he calls "events of Subject-Object Art". His work often involves nudity and self-mutilation. In a manner likened to ancient Cynic protest, Pavlensky makes the "mechanics of power" visible, forcing authorities to take part in his events by staging them in areas with heavy police surveillance. By doing so, "the criminal case becomes one of the layers of the artwork" and the government is "[drawn] into the process of making art".
