What do TV personality Kim Kardashian, fashion designer Tan France, and models Chrissy Teigen and Andreja Pejic have in common? Recently, these famous people surprised their followers by posting pictures with freaky body modifications. And they all did it for the same reason.
Recent Instagram fashion trends, like squiggly lips or feather brows, might give you an impression that the future of beauty is wild and unpredictable. But if you could change your body image as easily as you change your clothes, would you? That’s precisely the question that A. Human, an experimental immersive theatrical experience, is asking, and these celebrities are showcasing examples of what the visitors will see.
A. Human, conceived by Simon Huck, is opening at 48 Mercer Street, New York City on September 5. The interactive event uses set design, technology, prosthetics, special effects makeup, live actors and more to blur the gap between reality and fantasy while asking questions about self-expression.
“We didn’t want to root any of our body mods on the idea of existing insecurities or discomforts,” Simon Huck told VOGUE. “A. Human is about the freedom to explore this world and live in this world in any way you choose.”
This futuristic take on the world looks worthy of a sci-fi movie. The visitors will be offered to swap their shoes for a conch-shell-like permanent heel or have new DNA-mirrored hearts created and implanted for them. And while people on the internet can’t decide if these mods and SFX makeup looks are creepy or cool, Huck reminds us of the positive nature of the event. “When you think of the future, you think dark, dystopian—there are all these images that come to mind. I didn’t want to create a utopian world, but I definitely wanted to create a world that was optimistic or, at the bare minimum, neutral,” he said. Scroll down to check out the body outfits and tell us what you think about them in the comments.

Please no Kartrashians on Bored Panda! Can't we at least have one Kim free zone?

Ok people - THIS IS NOT BODY MODIFICATION. ITS MAKE UP. ITS TEMPORARY THEATRICAL MAKEUP TO ADVERTISE A FILM. CHILL.
Victor Vakaras 6 years ago
NOPE! BORED PANDA SAID IT'S CREEPY BODY MODIFICATIONS AND IT'S FREAKING THE ENTIRE INTERNET OUT, SO YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE. I CANNOT CHILL OVER THIS. PROBABLY EVER. In all seriousness, people just need to read the article to learn that they're not body modifications.

Wow, for some reason that really grossed me out. But yeah, live your life the way want. I want to live my life having never seen that looking creepy stuff.

...I'm sorry is it 1920? Do people not understand prosthetics? Why would this freak someone out?

I agree about the spirit of your point but it still grossed me out.

How is this any different than someone who cosplays as a Star Trek alien like a Klingon, Vulcan, Bajoran, or something else similar?

I think that the hate and the refuses coming from some people are coming from the believe that despite that all of this may be just a publicity for something .. that there is actually other's that are willing to do so ( i mean implant ) if possible , not because they need it or something , but really just to get more intention . And that , for some ,me included , is f*****g bizzard .
Aunt Messy 6 years ago
To be fair I'm sure there are a lot of people who would do this for real....and so what? It's their money, their time, and some of it is just a smidge cool. What I don't get is why people get hysterical about what strangers do to their bodies.

All the headlines around these say "Body Modifications!" "Going to Extremes with temporary surgery!!" Clickbait bushit! I'm a Special Makeup Effects Artist, this is just what I do every single day at work, instead of making monster or gore applications this guy is making pretty ones. Hell I made similar things in the past for shoots. They aren't really that expensive to make but do take some time and practice to get them right. I hate how the internet media is working everyone up over nothing.

I saw a young woman on the subway last week with "modified" ears that were like a mermaid or the creature from the black lagoon, and I legit thought it was real bod mod. I couldn't figure out how they did the surgery, but I totally fell for it. I'm glad I saw this Bored Panda, because now I know.
Mare Freed 6 years ago
Also I saw it right up close (because subway at rush hour) and couldn't tell it wasn't real modification.

This only intrigues me because of it looking real and I would love to have my left breast back even if it is fake but looks real.
mark wotton 6 years ago
If you like I do know a few places that deal with post surgery appliances. They are very good and treat you with dignity and the respect you deserve.

Some of those look kinda cool, but mostly they look like they HURT! Like a really bad, decorative skin rash.
Bobbi Newell 6 years ago
This reminds me of the "Uglies" series by Scott Westerfeld, where people had become dependent on brain and body modifications. Although I get that their intent is to challenge convention, I am not as optimistic about bod-mod as the creators seem to be, and find this really creepy, regardless of celebrity involvement.
mark wotton 6 years ago
My issue with it is that the headline says Body Modifications, implying that it's surgical. It's not, it's skin colored rubber glued on with medical adhesive that comes off with Alcohol. I literally do this every day at work. But instead of a Klingon, a Zombie,or a vampire it's jewelry. And the Kim one costs around $75 in materials, without the lights, so it's not even that expensive.

Relax, just a bit of bored people playing with ...stuff... basically make up gone extreme.
Elfmonkey 6 years ago
Even if it was real... so f****n what? People wear X style clothes, accessories, makeup, hairdos already to express themselves and - YES - get attention. Piercings and tattoos are very common now, and other bodymods already exist, so what's the big deal? Don't like the look of them? Don't get one, or don't look at them! You not liking them is your problem, so you deal with it. Personally I find them pretty cool (minus the one with holes.. "trypophobia" triggered *shudder*). Although KK's neck-thing looks like a bunch of jammie dodgers stuffed under her skin.
Kerolos Saleib 6 years ago
This is overall creepy. That make up and style is expensive AF. Beyond that it is telling peoole to do it because KardTrashian did it. Why even bother with this gross nonsense. No point. Not life changing. Not inspiring. Not pretty. Let's focuse on trans issues first ti make a statment. Not this rubish. BP...you are becoming repetitive and just lame for clicks.

I don't know why people downvoted. Maybe it's because those "celebrities" are useless as the fake implants. Maybe it,s because the tidepod generation is capable of do some pretty stupid and idiotic things. Or maybe because it's just so silly and DUMB that nobady really cares. Bored Panda - Ashamed Panda.I

Gross and disgusting,I guess when ye have $ to throw away this is the shite ye come up with.
Jus 6 years ago
They can do whatever they want to themselves, but we instinctively feel good when looking at natural bodies. Those look sick, often gross, usually just show lack of self acceptation. They do it to show off. They have a right, but it's not natural. I don't want such things promoted. Not pretty, not useful, not encouraging, no positive lesson here. But yes, they have a right.
mark wotton 6 years ago
Why is it disgusting, it's just Makeup. I make the same thing for a living. It's just cool to see them used for fashion instead of horror.
