What is "body art"?

Body art is a style of art that began in the late 20th century, focusing on the human body as a tool for artistic expression. This style of art includes practices like body painting, tattooing, and performance art where the body itself becomes the canvas or subject. Artists such as Marina Abramović and Yves Klein explored the physical body as a way to challenge traditional ideas about art and the artist. Body art often aims to explore themes of identity, transformation, and the relationship between the body and art, emphasizing personal and often bold forms of expression.
