From the Material Boy: On Wednesday, February 10, the artist Luizo Vega posed completely naked in front of the Vatican. The action of this art is part of a series of performances called “Sacré” that Vega has been developing since 2004, including productions at “La Sagrada Familia” in Barcelona and the “Sacre Coeur” in Paris, among other temples and sacred places of mankind’s history.
According to Vega: “It has been an incredibly moving experience. Due to the high level of security of the Vatican it was really difficult to carry out with the performance. The idea of having been able to achieve it fulfills me and I think it is a real contribution to freedom of expression. In the twenty-first century the human body can no longer be considered something forbidden. I propose a return to our true nature."
Soon, the cycle will have new productions in Israel, Egypt, India. Mexico and Brazil. [ SOURCE ]
