Apparition At Lourdes: Artist Who Poses Nude In Front Of Famous Nude Paintings Visits Pilgrimage Site (Nude, Of Course)

The Luxembourgeoise artist Deborah de Robertis, who has been arrested multiple times for displaying herself alongside displays of some of the world’s most famous female nude paintings, “has been charged with ‘sexual exhibitionism’ after she stood in the famous grotto at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, hands clasped as if in prayer, wearing nothing but a blue veil on her head.” (She titled the performance “The Origin of Life.”)
