Petr Pavlensky

Russian art student Petr Pavlensky wrapped himself in barbed wire. The confused policemen attempted to untangle and remove him from the public square — first by putting a blanket to hide the horror, then with wire cutters. The protestor was gashed and cut by the self-imposed net. ‘The action symbolises man’s existence in a repressive legal system, where any movement causes severe reaction by the Law as it bites into the body of the individual’

You may remember Petr from when he sewed his mouth up at the time of the Pussy Riot trial
