A Body to Live In

United States – 2025

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. 
A Body To Live In introduces this riveting “Gender Flex” icon to uncover the rich history of western body modification and its complex intersection with sexuality and spiritual practices.
