Talk about putting your balls on the line. A Russian performance artist was hospitalised this Sunday, after he stripped naked and nailed his testicles to a cobblestone in a protest against the Kremlin’s crackdown on political rights.
The artists, Pyotr Pavlensky, said that he was trying to make a point about Russian society’s inaction in the face of the development of a “police state.”
And it isn’t the first time Pyotr has done something like this. In the past, he’s sewn his lips together in protest against the arrest of the two female members of Pussy Riot, who staged an anti-Kremlin performance inside Moscow’s main cathedral in 2011.
You’re welcome to watch, but please be warned that there will be testicles all over your screen.
