The Living Canvas

I found this via Eros Blog:



It's a photograph from Peter Guithar's Body as Canvas exhibit and looks to be a portent of his new piece of performance art, The Living Canvas.

Theatre. Art. Movement. This is photography made flesh; the body as you've never seen it before. Pete Guither and his performers present the texture of movement with the extraordinary expressiveness of the unclothed human form. Images and patterns projected onto the actors create scenes that are alternately beautiful, disturbing, hilarious, and astonishing.

It starts playing at the Victory Garden Theater in Chicago later this month. I think I'll try to grab a ticket as I'll be down there in a few weeks.
