'This fascinating volume of essays and images offers a real primer of cutting-edge information about today's cyber-fetish scene...Body Probe is exciting, lively and extremely well-designed' - Headpress | ||||||||||||
| Nick Knight, the Chapman Brothers, E.Garbs,
David Cronenberg, Hermann Nitsch, Orlan, Stelarc, Ron Athey, Franko B,
Della Grace and Alex Binnie. Individually and collectively
their work represents the cutting edge of art, design, performance, photography
and film, as they push the boundaries of the human body to the extremes
of mutation, self-mutilation and body customizing.
Body Probe, the follow-up to the now acclaimed, club-based book: Torture Garden, presents an eclectic mix of interviews (including a fascinating interview with Nick Knight discussing his collaborations with Alexander McQueen), features and striking images. Exploring how technology and the human body are becoming increasingly entwined as we enter the 21st century, Body Probe provides a graphic, penetrative and confrontational insight into the work of these leading international artists. Features include: Fashion mutation; Alien abduction; the Cybernetic Body; Robot Art; Sex in Space; Medical Fetishism; Sadomasochism in Art; Body Customizing Extremes; Virtual Bodies, and Post-Fetish Fashion. Body Probe now reconfirms the Torture Garden's position at
the cutting edge of the fetish, body art, and cyber technology scene.
It contains over 100 black and white photographs, and over 50 full-colour
plates.
