Brus divides the action into the segments \u201cHand-Painting,\u201d \u201cHead-Painting,\u201d and \u201cTotal Head-Painting.\u201d A live audience watches as he demonstrates the possibilities of painting on his own body. The series of photographs shows a painted arm variously interacting with nails, razor blades, scissors, and a saw. The sharp-edged utensils inflict figurative wounds on the body, suggesting a process that is presumably no less painful. Sketches indicate how the action will continue: a black scar-like line will split the artist\u2019s skull, face, and body."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Fotografie auf Karton aufgeklebt"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10204678"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Self-Painting I"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Photography"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-98352/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Darstellungsmaße: 48,8 × 39 cm"}}]}
