[topoLivres]Dimitri Tsykalov organsTsykalov does not only sculpt organs but also uses flesh as a medium. He took a series of photos with men wearing meat as helmet and shield, a man bound by linked sausages, and three men hoisting a triumphant flag. The men are otherwise nude, drawing more attention to the bright red flesh that surrounds them. It is simultaneously revolting and beautiful. The exposed flesh puts their vulnerability at the forefront.Dimitri Tsykalov meat flag[via tdw]
