Starvation art

Starvation art is a performance or concept where an artist intentionally deprives themselves of food or nourishment for a period to explore themes like endurance, mortality, and the human condition. It is often used as a form of experimental or expressive art, highlighting the physical and psychological limits of the body. While controversial due to health risks, it aims to provoke reflection on hunger, sacrifice, and societal issues. Participants usually undertake such acts under careful supervision, emphasizing the artistic intent and personal meaning behind the act rather than promoting unsafe behavior.
