This has gone beyond "art" in my opinion. I'm not sure what Aliza Shvarts' goal is - perhaps she's looking to get her 15-minutes of fame, but the woman is crazy. If this is how she's hoping to get to "celebrity" status, I'm thinking she's going about it all wrong.
Ms. Shvarts issued a statement to The Yale Daily News and denies claims from her own University that her self-inducing pregnancies and miscarrages were some sort of hoax.
Here's some of the article from The Yale Daily News:
Shvarts reiterated Thursday that she repeatedly use a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself. At the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding, she said. She said she does not know whether or not she was ever pregnant.
“No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen,” Shvarts said, “because the nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties.”
This afternoon, Shvarts showed the News footage from tapes she plans to play at the exhibit. The tapes depict Shvarts — sometimes naked, sometimes clothed — alone in a shower stall bleeding into a cup.
I'm offically calling this woman nuts and I think I'm going to be sick. Give me Britney Spears any day!
