Erections on stage and in performance art

[NakedDan]

Genuine question, who comes up with these ideas to have a guy naked and erect for an art piece? Not criticizing, just curious as to how these shows function. The one you showed before it just seemed super random you stood thete dancing erect when nothing else in the show was nude (that I could see)

Im not understanding its purpose?

The first time I did a nude performance art piece, I was hired to do it by another artist. I sat in a small enclosed space while German songs played on a TV there. This artist asked me to have an erection, so I did. People would climb down in the hole and sit with me. There were a lot of people at this event, but only a few at a time could crawl down and sit with me. Here are a few photos of it.

What was the purpose of it? I have no idea. But the artists running that gallery made up some BS.

When I got the chance to do one myself, I wanted to do something similar but out in the open. So I did, and I loved it.

As for that first piece, an article was written about it in a Texas art magazine: https://glasstire.com/2016/01/26/were-all-in-this-together-naked/
