Icelandic artist Snorri Asmundsson recently made news headlines for a very bizarre request – he’s asking dying people to donate their corpses for his latest art project. He apparently plans to use corpses in a dance video, promising to return them to their families once he’s done. 冰岛艺术家Snorri Asmundsson最近因其奇怪的请求而上了头条，他希望濒死之人能将他们的尸体捐赠给他最近的艺术项目。他打算在一个舞蹈视频中使用尸体，并保证一旦他使用完毕，就会立刻将尸体归还给他们的家人。 Snorri first came up with the idea in 2008 – he received media attention back then for putting up a Facebook ad asking for people on their deathbeds to get in touch with him. “Looking for dead bodies in the name of art,” his ad read. “I need a few corpses for a video installation. If you are dying I would like to borrow your remains after you die. The bodies will be returned to the undertaker in the same condition.” Snorri最开始在2008年有了这一想法，那时他在脸书上请求濒死之人与他联系，这一举动引起了人们的注意。他的广告语上写着：“以艺术之名寻求死尸，我需要尸体来拍摄一段视频。如果你要死了，我希望能在你死后将你的尸体借走。我保证这些尸体会完好如初地被归还回去。” Understandably, the ad caused quite the controversy in the Nordic island. “It was in all the media in Iceland and I had strange articles written about me,” Snorri said. “Some people contactedvicars asking their opinion. People had decided that I was going to do something really unethical with those corpses. It’s nothing like that.” |
