Кожи | Skins

Rig tattoos on breasts with drips of oil.
Cause oil is the new milk.
Nourishment of oligarchs.
Wow.
What a powerful symbol and a metaphor of a modern Russia!
Which is actually true for the rest of the world as well.

I am not a huge contemporary art fan but sometimes when i come across things like this i find some remnants of respect inside my head to this genre of art.
It's a piece of 'SKINS' project by russian artist Irina Nakhova.
She basically took the idea that 'tattoos tell the story of your life' and made an interesting exhibition with political angle.
If you live in London you can pay a visit to London Art Sensus Gallery where currently 'SKINS' is present.
