Body Modification Workshop
Radical body modification has become more common and visible during the last few decades. More recently, what once represented particular subcultures, has today become mainstream enough to be considered, consumed and codified as commodities, enabling appropriation without embracing ideology or identity. Physical appearance, as expression of identity, can today be permanently modified in ways that whilst previously considered irregular - even bizarre - are today regarded as routine and normal.
