Body to Live In (A)
- Director: Angelo Madsen
CGiii Comment
An uncompromising, no-holds-barred look at the agonies and ecstasies of Fakir Musafar, the infamous icon of BDSM performance art and body modification movements.
Describing his gender as ‘between the cracks’, Fakir Musafar (1930-2018) quested for enlightenment through transformative gender play and extreme piercing. Coining the term ‘Modern Primitives’ in 1979, he merged sexuality with spirituality via a controversial grab-bag of physically gruelling ceremonial practices from religions around the globe. Kink pundit and publisher, queer muse and mentor – his reputation was beyond hardcore.
