Synopsis

The most comprehensive review of body art ever assembled. Throughout history people have adorned and customized the body. Polhemus? text looks at this phenomenon from an anthropological perspective while Randall?s photographs touch all the bases - body painting, tattooing, piercing, corsets, scarring, hair, jewellery, masks and shoes - in graphic and dramatic style. A celebration of the most extraordinary, it also provokes us to think about the way we decorate, dress and adorn as we do.
