Carolee Schneemann

Meat Joy
1964

A vintage, grainy photo depicting a scene with three people in what appears to be a playful or theatrical pose. The central figure is lying on their back with their mouth open, while the other two, wearing costumes with feathered headdresses, are leaning over, playfully interacting with the central figure. The image has a reddish-pink tint, adding to its retro aesthetic.
