Wicked Queer: Docs

The queer art of Body modification took center stage in 1989 when Fakir Musafar’s “Modern Primitives” movement hit alternative cultures around the globe via the punk subcultural magazine Re/Search. A photographer, performance artist, and ritualist, Musafar’s work mobilized an entire generation of artists, thinkers, and seekers. Through oral histories, photographic meditation, and filmic abstraction, A Body To Live In introduces this riveting “Gender Flex” icon, and the rich history of western body modification’s controversial intersections with sexuality and spiritual practices.
