| Artist Poppy Jackson sitting nude sat on top of a London building - Twitter pic |
A London artist stopped traffic at Commercial Street, Whitechapel, when she staged a novel performance art.
Artist Poppy Jackson sat on top of a building that houses Toynbee Studios completely nude and with her legs spread across the gable on Friday. Enduring cold and uncomfortable position, she sat for nearly four hours, taking only a couple of breaks, reports The Standard.
Passersby were taken aback by the curious sight as no explanation was immediately available on what was going on.
It came to be known later that the show was a performance art, titled "Site", and was part of an art festival that was being held at the same building.
The piece investigates questions relating to temporality, the body in site, representation and gender through consideration of the use of the body in performance as an activist practice."
