MORE INFO – Pyotr Andreyevich Pavlensky Anderyevich (March 8, 1984) is a Russian contemporary artist. Known for his controversial political performance art, which he calls "actions", Pavlensky is a significant figure in political activism, and his work often involves nudity and self-mutilation. Pavlensky explicitly denounces the "mechanics of power", forcing authorities to take part in his artistic actions by staging them in areas with heavy police surveillance, explaining that "the criminal case becomes one of the layers of the artwork" and the government is "drawn into the process of making art".
I found it interesting to draw a line between the past and the classic fictional book to the present of the political protest art and through that raising new questions and showing the relevance of the book now-days.
