Profile of performance artist RRRRRRRRROberto Sifuentes:

“If Jeff Koons’ success is symptomatic of slack-jawed consumers eager to gobble up shiny, uncomplicated objects, Roberto Sifuentes is the anti-Koons. He doesn’t cultivate a celebrity to hide behind. He is inviting, rather than selling. He is not cynical or tongue-in-cheek; he is, rather, open and engaging. His performances are earnest, gruesome, unsettling, sad. He covers his body in blood, roaches, leeches and barbed wire, but when we met, he had a fresh haircut and a pressed shirt.”
