Exploring the evolution of contemporary body discourse, the book examines the conflict between fragmented and holistic perceptions of the body. It delves into various fields such as performance art, popular culture, new media arts, and architecture, highlighting how these domains contribute to the ongoing conversation about body representation and identity. Through this analysis, it sheds light on the complexities of how bodies are understood and depicted in modern society.

How the act of looking at our own and others' bodies is informed by the techniques, expectations, and strategies of body modification.
