Overview
Jon Cory, a New York body artist, fails at none in preparation for his naked shows. “”Gender terrorism”” is what he calls his overt and sexually ambivalent results. He wants the crowd to get in the air: the more you touch them, the nice Cory explains, the more over-stimulated and shocked their minds. The audience needs still more: the audience is applauded by coughing and feigning to urinate. Jon has had to get accustomed to a different persona after he decided to get breast implants to increase his status as a sex bomber. His mother has little difficulty in his current breasts, but he himself is concerned with calling himself Rose or Jon. The documentary director Eva Küpper tracks him both before and after the operation, during his careful rehearsal for his performances and during the performances themselves, capturing him as he finds intimacy.
