Bow Bridges I & II (from Sailor's Meat) (in 2 parts)
Two large-scale photographic works from Paul McCarthy's provocative 1975 performance piece *Sailor's Meat*, in which the artist explored themes of abjection, identity, and the grotesque through transgressive acts involving food and the body. The diptych format of *Bow Bridges I & II* presents paired images that underscore McCarthy's interest in duality and repetition as mechanisms for amplifying psychological unease. Rooted in the tradition of body art, the works challenge conventional boundaries between performance, photography, and visceral experience.
