Sorry the pictures are blurry; she’s sewing chicken skin to her breasts and genitals if it’s not clear. I do not know the context or meaning so if please feel free to add that to the comments if you know!
A profound performance?

fuck that using animals for “performances”.
Oh noes! a dead chicken! Chicken skin over your genitals has to be a pretty weird feeling
That just doesn’t seem like a great idea……. I mean I suppose it makes for an interesting performance, I’m just wondering what kind of terrible things can happen to a wound filled with raw chicken juice.
Mmm, massive infection. That must have been fun.
Why in the world would someone get a “massive infection” from touching presumably fresh/not-rotting chicken?
I’m crying. 🙁
The dead chicken is clearly enjoying that.
ha, that has got to be the wierdest thing i’ve seen on here!
The chicken doesn’t have to be “rotten” to get salmonella, just raw!
JP – I know that, but how common is it for people to pick up infections PREPARING chicken? Because it’s certainly not uncommon for chicken/chicken juice to get into fresh cuts in those situations.
hahahathe chicken seems to be having a fun time. We should book that dead chicken to do a show at the next bmefest

fucking retarded
it’s kinda creepy
errrr….why? that’s just plain weird :S
Sharron: my argument is, people preparing chicken for consumption generally don’t have open wounds on their hands.
I hope that bird is fresh. Judging from the buckets to catch fluids, it probably is.
Maybe it’s really an attempted message about women being treated as meat?
salmonella is sooooo bad
are u serious
u can defffff get that from having raw chicken near wounds..or your mouth.
whyyy?
odds of getting salmonella typically aren’t really high when preparing chicken. most people do good not to cut themselves and if they do hopefully they wash it out fairly good. puncturing yourself over and over (not just surface cut but actual punctures through the tissue layers) multiple times to actually sew it on just increases that risk much higher. hopefully the skins were at least washed well and they could have been washed in something fairly strong since they weren’t being consumed (unlike most chicken when it’s being handled for use.)
I’d hit it. With the raw chicken sewed on.
Ewwwwww.
Not for me, this totally squicks me out
Ech, grody.
couldnt you get salmonela (sp?) from the raw chicken and needles & thread going through your skin?
raw chicken, do not put in mouth or rectum. But I guess it’s cool to sew it to your hooha and titties.
I would love to know the significance of this.
I hope she sewed the skin from the chicken breasts to her tatas, otherwise it just wouldn’t be right.
This is very interesting, I’d love to know the significance too.
Shannon – why do you always post such Skin-ny Girls?
not cool. not cool at all.
poor chicken.
oh but this makes total sense.
26 – I doubt shannon had any say in who did that performance…Also if you found a not ‘Skin-ny girl’ doing the same thing i’m sure he would post it.
Strange that people are getting creeped out and saying ‘this is just plain weird’ when there are people that enjoy slicing in-between their toes and hanging from their penis… That toe thing made me wince and was just plain weird; this is nothing.
And maybe she just likes chicken breasts.
Pretty weird stuff.
I think it has something to do with the female body as an object of consumption, or just objectifcation and not a being or individual, especially if the chicken is being applied to the breasts and genitals… Kinda like the pornagraphy of meat, the pornagraphy and exploitation of women’s bodies for their bodies and not seing the women underneath the skin… like not seeing the animals underneath their skin as living, worthy beings….
i think 29 doesn’t get sarcasm 🙂
Yes, people handle raw chicken every day without any ill effect. Both those people also wash their hands right after handling it, and those people aren’t puncturing themselves numerous times and letting raw chicken juice sit in their wounds.
so why is she wearing the hooker shoes?
mmm mmm mmm…Finger Lickin’ Good….
I don’t get it. Most people who comment here have no problem with a human hanging from hooks, a guy shoving spears through his chest cavity, or intense testicle play, but you take issue with a dead chicken? Now that’s just plain weird…
PotownAl, a lot of people would probably argue that those who participate in body modification do it willingly, while you can’t judge how an animal feels, thus making it unfair.
I personally wouldn’t harm an animal for this reason (or any reason), but If I were a chicken, I’d love to be killed and sewn to a gorgeous woman’s cooter 😀
haha i cant help but to laugh at all the comments on this.. some comments are goofy :p..i wish the pictures were more clear.. oh well about getting salmonella, if she does, i hope she has health insurance and/or likes vomiting and crapping a whole lot
a guy hanging from his penis is choosing to do so, the chicken is NOT choosing.
DO not use animals to state your convinctions or do art.
Moe: I’d hit it. With the raw chicken sewed on.
lol
Um…sure. If that’s what does it for you…
I keep thinking of those lysol commercials.
maybe it’s just literally “chicken breasts”
perhaps I’m just morbid but I had a little giggle…
If the chicken didn’t like it, it would bite her.
#43 wins.
The chicken is DEAD… christ, what issues can you take with using a DEAD chicken? Performance art is full of people doing weird/”gross” things, but seriously, getting offended about using a dead chicken is ridiculous. Unless she slaughtered it on stage… This chicken was probably raised to be fried and eaten, so it’s actually a priviledge for it to be used as art instead. This way people may think about it a lot more, where it came from and why it’s being “consumed” in this way instead of blended into chicken nuggets.
This reminds me of a porn I saw once. A couple was on a picnic table and they were rubbing chicken all over their naughty bits and eating it. Looked like it had been boiled. Later on, he was hitting it from behind and shoved her face into a bowl of peas. It was slightly disturbing yet highly amusing. Just thought I’d share.
First salmonella is housed in the intestinal tract of chicken, not the skin. Chicken only becomes contaminated through processing when the outsides touch the insides. Secondly, salmonella is intestinal, not blood borne, so she is not going to contract it through her blood.
P.S. Eggshells have salmonella from touching the cloaca
That’s just gross.
I have worked with ‘fresh raw meats’ in a section of my biology class that covered parasites and diseases passed on from animals to humans.
That chicken would have over a 50% chance of having Campylobacter jejuni present, and even washed it still is present under the skin till it’s finaly killed of in the cooking process.
Salmonella would also be a big problem, as it is a very common bacteria that can only be killed off totaly by cooking.
Even cooked chicken can contain Listeria monocytogenes because of poor personal hygiene, so just washing a raw chicken would have no hope of destroying it.
Yes, people handle raw chicken all the time, but for the most part they wash their hands straight after and if they cut themselves then they also wash straight away. That said there is even still a chance that the person handling the chicken will get sick just by a bit of ‘juice’ entering a open wond.
The difference between a cook and the person in the picture above is the fact that the cook is not puncturing their own skin over and over again while letting the ‘juice’ seep under and through.
This might be ‘pretty’ and have ‘meaning’ but over all its just plain stupid.
ok, she’s sewing dead chicken flesh to hers, i’m sure she’s aware of whatever risks there are in doing so. so get over that……..
i’d still like to know the significance behind it, if there is any. and if it’s the whole “women being treated like meat” thing, the first question that pops into my head (i think 35 said it too)
why is she wearing “fuck me” shoes??? or maybe the irony adds to it.
food for though ; )~
