The scandalous artist from St. Petersburg Pyotr Pavlensky again found himself in the center of public and press attention, and again because of the scandalous performance. This time he cut off his earlobe.
Pavlensky chose a landmark location for the action. He climbed on the wing of the Serbsky Scientific Center for Forensic and Social Psychiatry completely naked. The information about the action was posted on Facebook by the artist's associate Oksana Shalygina.
The photos that appeared on the social network show how Pavlensky, completely naked, sits on the wall of a building, dangling his legs, and cuts off his earlobe with a knife. Yes, another photo - the moment Pavlensky was detained by the police.
Pyotr Pavlensky is known for a series of scandalous actions. In the summer of 2012, while supporting the convicted Pussy Riot members, he sewed up his mouth and stood at the Kazan Cathedral with a poster.
In the spring of 2013, Pavlensky lay naked outside the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, wrapped in barbed wire. Pavlensky called this action "Carcass" and, according to him, it was supposed to symbolize "the existence of a person in a repressive legislative system, where any movement causes a violent reaction of the law, digging into the body of the individual."
In the fall of 2013, absolutely naked Pavlensky on Red Square near the Mausoleum nailed his genitals with a huge nail to the paving stones. Then an ambulance took the man away from the square.
With the current action, according to Pavlensky himself, he protested against the fact that the authorities "return the use of psychiatry for political purposes." A psychiatric examination found Pavel Pavlensky sane. Soon he will return to St. Petersburg, where he will be kept under house arrest.
