Performance Artist Does Impromptu Reenactment Of 'The Origin Of The World.' Yes, THAT Painting.

If you've ever gazed into the beautiful void that is Gustav Courbet's "The Origin of the World," you're probably familiar with just how provocative (and NSFW) the painting is.

As the title cleverly references, it is a portrait of the female genitalia, through which all human beings enter into life. Combining the romance of realism and the lustful voyeurism of erotic art, it's, well, heavy stuff.

만일에 당신이 Gustav Courbet의 "The Origin of the World"(세상이 시작된 곳)의 아름다운 공허(空虛:빈 자리)를 뚤어지게 바라본 적이 있다면 아마도 아래의 그림이 얼마나 도전적인지 감을 잡을 것이다.  제목에서 알아먹게 암시하드시 이 그림은 여자의 국부를 묘사하고 있고, 이를 통하여 인간이 세상에 등장하는 원천임을 말해준다.  아름다운 현실과 또한 정욕의 답사를 탐구하는 예술 바로 그거, 얄궂게 푹신한...아이구.

So, you can only imagine what would happen if someone -- let's say, a daring performance artist -- attempted to reenact the racy anatomic still life from 1866... in front of an audience of museum patrons assembled at Paris' Musee d’Orsay to see Courbet's masterpiece face-to-face.

그래 가설라무네 어떤 사람이 --- 당돌하다 할까, 아니면 과감한 연출 예술가라 합시다 --- 1866년 이래로 해부학적 아슬아슬한 장면을 불란서 파리의 한 박물관, 즉 Musee d'Orsay의 관람객들 앞에서 그림의 것을 실제로 재현해 보였다고 상상해 보시라요.  입안에 군침이 돌가시요, 아니 돌가시요?

Do you have a clear picture yet? Now compare that to the video below, in which Luxembourgian artist Deborah de Robertis actually transforms painting into performance, by revealing her own vulva in front of some surprised passersby. Just watch (and remember, it's not safe for work):

Une artiste expose son sexe sous ≪L'origine du... by quoi2news

According to Le Monde, the racy act took place on May 29 at the Musee d’Orsay's Room 20. De Robertis entered the room in a gold sequin dress and proceeded to expose her own "L’Origine du monde" to a crowd of unsuspecting security guards and applauding gallery goers. The artist was eventually taken away by police and, as Artnet reports, the museum and two of its guards subsequently filed sexual exhibitionism complaints against the bold woman.

“This is a typical case of disrespecting the museum’s rules, whether for a performance or not,” the Musee d’Orsay’s administration said in a statement published in Artnet. “No request for authorization was filed with us. And even if it had been, it’s not certain we would have accepted it as that may have upset our visitors.”

De Robertis feels differently. “If you ignore the context, you could construe this performance as an act of exhibitionism, but what I did was not an impulsive act,” she explained to Luxemburger Wort. “There is a gap in art history, the absent point of view of the object of the gaze. In his realist painting, the painter shows the open legs, but the vagina remains closed. He does not reveal the hole, that is to say, the eye. I am not showing my vagina, but I am revealing what we do not see in the painting, the eye of the vagina, the black hole, this concealed eye, this chasm, which, beyond the flesh, refers to infinity, to the origin of the origin.”

To be fair, de Robertis claims she's performed "Mirror of Origin" more than once in the Paris museum, without causing hysteria. And it's not the first time that an avid student of art history has opted to demonstrate the sincerest form of flattery by imitating a famous work of art. Just last year, a 26-year-old known as Arthur G.stripped down to his birthday suit in front of the Musee d’Orsay’s parade of male nudes, “Masculin/Masculin."

As the Guerrilla Girls pointed out in the 1990s, less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art section of New York's Metropolitan Museum were women, but 85% of the nudes were female. Does it take a nude performance artist disrupting a casual day of museum revelry to make the world notice? Let us know your thoughts on de Robertis' performance in the comments.
