Joanneke Meester’s Skin Gun.
|
In 2004, Dutch artist Joanneke Meester had an 8-inch-long piece of her skin surgically removed so she can use it to cover a gun-shaped plastic and fiber mold. Voilà – a skin gun. Link: Joanneke’s website |

eesh. And here I thought, when I first saw the image without reading about it, “ooh a pizza gun”
yuck. but um, yay art and all that.
That may very well be the grossest thing I have ever seen. Great link!
That’s not cool. strange but true. The skin will rot soon after a few hours unless he knows how to preserve it. I still doubt that he could do that!
Ahhh, the sacrifice crazy artists make in the name of crazy art…
…and the message is sunk in the crazy waters.
That’s just so weird! Keeping a dead skin tissue just to be a gun? Eeek. At first, I thought it was a pizza-baked gun, but then, it turns out to be someone’s skin… hmm… odd!
you know that would definitely scare away more criminals than perhaps a real gun
Look on the bright side. If the artist would have been a Jew, that would have been a Foreskin Gun.
I think the woman had a midlife crisis and said to herself, “Hey, I’m going to make a gun, out of my skin!!! YAY!!! I’M SO SMART!!!” And then she looks at herself in the mirror for places where she can remove her skin and say, “Joanneke, you are a genius!!!” And off she went to the doctors and the doctor probably told her, “WOW! THAT’S THE SMARTEST THING ANYONE EVER SAID ABOUT ANYTHING!”
I’ve seen a gun made of bone. A man had his wife’s femur shaved to form the grip of a pistol (crazy old German man)
Rhen, your a freaking idiot…not only jews get circumsized, its considered the sanitary thing to do nowadays…you elephant trunk warrior
man ive seen some crazy sh-t on the internet but a SKIN GUN??!?! What the hell was she thinking?>
now this is just plain sick, i have news for the artist okay, y not do som finger painting, its clean an fun and involves absolutly no body mutilation or convulsion at all, exept maybe if they r somone elses severed fingers
I’ve heard of a skin flute before, but come on, this is just too much!
This is very Joel-Peter Witkin. He is the ‘artist’ who uses real cadavers to create still life. Very still ife that is!!!! Go ahead check out his stuff here:
eerraa….errraa….eeerraaa…..uh…..hmmmmm….that looks like……why would ne1….uhh….ppl goin….why, why, why would u cut out 8inc of ur skin to do that…..OMFG…WHY!!!!!!!!i c no point
We could set up a factory somewhere in the 3rd world and start mass producing these things! I bet people would pay like $500 for one of these. It would help solve unemployment and overpopulation.
mmmm. I’d like to cook that up and eat it. Oh wait thats not a pizza pocket! You guys lied to me!!! You said we were going to vagas.
YAY!! i wanna go to vagas and eat pizza gun pockets!! Wouldn’t mind some of that skin either.
What the !@#$. My book is complete ..I’ve seen it all now. Proof god made morons
wow it looks like pizza i was eating pizza when i saw that and i was like hey kool then i was like eeww and then i couldnt eat my pizza n e more thanks a lot haha
Please tell me that she is not wasting publicly funded dollars on this garbage. My taxes pay for crap like this? I like my art free, and my artists starving…If you had real talent, you be painting something.
What in the hell was on her mind?? Yea smart idea probably some fat ugly single women…
Human skin + moron = moron with skin gun.
What do the two have in common?
Does it shoot blood? now that would be cool otherwise it’s just some sorry ass attempt for someone with no talent to play at being an artist. Come on all you modern art folks are a bit heavy with the pretense and yeah you have some secret deep meaningful reason for making that but it’s just gross and useless arts and crafts crap. I’m all about joel peter whitkins but that’s due to his skill at setting a mood and creating things that shock our baseline of reality. This on the other hand isn’t art…It doesn’t even look well made. Imo art =beauty, skill, mood or emotional content this lacks all of those. Go back to needlepoint.
This is almost like colleges buying PVC pipe for $25,000 and calling it art.
The saddest part is – while an artist making great sacrifices for good art can be powerfuly moving and life changing for the people who get it, this really isn’t even good art.
What is she saying? Guns are bad because… uh… there’s nothing clever here at all to work with.
She is getting attention though. Maybe that’s the point.
I dont understand what it’s supposed to symbolise. Maybe something to do with guns being evil or something i dont know.
Weird Though!
I wish someone made an eyeball gun that would be sick!
circumsizedcatholic! you are in idiot! Jewish people don’t get circumsized you moron, that was the joke! I am very much annoyed with your ignorance on the situation when you have the audacity to call someone else an idiot!
furf: no doubt, what possesses someone to do such a thing? If it is to gain your attention with dis-belief, I understand completely – since it is going into my collection of all things not right.
2 me itz the true grossness of a gun – a grossness ordinarily reserved 4 the receiver of the gunz fury
…i thought it was a cookie or something tasty….i click the link and find out it’s skin =P
i’m impressed. as a young artist to be, it’s very inspirational.
OMG,
This is so NASTY,
When i first saw it i thought it was a cracker or something and then i found out it was skin thats SICK!
EW
i can’t even imagine
i fort, yumm a pizza in the shape of a gun, that ill go n buy..ppl do sum sik things
the artist made some statement…………..not.
but it is kind of impressive. hahaha EW
