Volunteers required to die…hey, its art!
April 18, 2008
German artist (who is a little obsessed with death) Gregor Schneider has started looking for willing volunteers to die naturally in a gallery to show “the beauty of death”.
He plans on showing the piece at the Haus Lange Museum in Krefeld, Germany but, if they aren’t interested (i cant imagine why, who wouldn’t!) he will stage it at his studio.
Im not sure whats going on in this pic sorry. Looks like a (rather excited) guy with a black bag over his head!??!
Its a piece by Gregor called “mann mit schwanz” which translates as “Man with tail“.
It makes sense now.

Although I’m no expert ( colleague is) I believe it’s more accurately “man with c*ck”

Now that would make a hell of a lot more sense wouldnt it! Thanks hiro!

yes. as a native speaker i would strongly suggest that “schwanz” in thi case does not mean “tail” but penis.

Cheers Carl. Considering the guys level of excitment, “schwanz” would certainly make more sense as “penis”!
