Geoghean

Tom Geoghean : Performance Artist





This is Geoghean's Strange fruit pperformance piece. He hung motionless on a tree for most of the day. This type of performance takes an incredible amount of self control and a state of meditation. The artist is using his body as the art piece, a living canvas.





Another performance is called "Rubbish", where he dresses up in a pile of rubbish on the street, with his head sticking out a little. Most people walking by just ignore him. Some notice the head, but do not check him out. Someone actually kicked him in the head. The artist did not respond, keeping with the spirit of the performance. Great stuff.
