THE CUSTOMIZED BODY |

Dave: My scarification was done on stage. I was mummified and upside down. Once the cutting began I lost all sense of time ... it was the most painful thing I've ever done ... but I felt great afterwards, filled with a sense of strength and completion. Although I do these things more often than some, make no mistake, it never stops being frightening. For me, these rituals demonstrate how, as people, we only know differences ... happiness because we've felt sadness, comfort because we've known pain. |
