SynopsisThe road of body modification, piercing, and mutilation is untraveled by most people, yet it holds an undeniable fascination for many. This book, the first monograph devoted to Musafars photography, chronicles this compelling topic in an amazing collection of 140 photographs taken by Fakir Musafar, the father of the modern primitive movement. A world-renowned shaman, artist, master piercer, and body modifier, Musafar has devoted most of his life to the personal exploration of body decoration, photographing himself and others since the 1940s. Revealing a modernist edge, these photographs are beautifully composed and printed. Their power as images, however, resides in the intense, unexpected beauty of Musafars exploration of the spirit/flesh connection., If you've ever seen Fakir Musafar's photographs in Modern Primitives, Body Play magazine or on TV, you must get a copy of this coffee table art book. After 50 years of photographing his own body play and the play of others, here is a huge, 196-page collection of the very best of his work. A must-have for all serious body modifiers, tattoo and piercing enthusiasts.
