Fru has reinterpreted the 10 images of the Ox story and the ten steps of John of the Cross. The images are intended to encourage the viewer to reflect on his or her own life. Together with the model Sonja, Fru recreated 12 situations in a body painting performance and photographed and filmed them. The photographs are edited in Photoshop to the point that only the painting is visible. For more information on the creation see the making of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HTY7SKZvDc For inspiration and the artistic genre see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Bulls The whole series of 12 pictures with a commentary are published in a book: https://www.epubli.com/shop/12-levels-haiku-zenga-photo-9783752970012 “On The Market” is the last of the twelve pictures. Body art is an artistic concept of the 20th century in which the body is both an art medium and an art object. It is a fluid transition between art and life. Life is a work of art, and the work of art is life. When you realise this, you feel happy. Models: fru.ch and Sonja. Environment, styling, body painting, photography and individual and slightly varying digital post-processing were done entirely by the artist. The originals are fine art prints with LUCIA pigment ink on Hahnemühle PhotoRag (300g) and are signed by artist.

fru (Beat Frutiger), born in 1952 in Bern, lives in Kaiseraugst near Basel and worked as a art teacher from 1981 until his retirement in 2013. He publishes under the pseudonym fru.ch. Influenced by performances of the 1970s, Zen art and training as a make-up artist, fru has been combining body painting, photography and Zen art in a unique way. His art is a play between the photographic image that represents reality and the painting or sculpture that embodies an ideal. Since his training in 1981, his creativity has been concerned with the deconstruction of fine art, body art and photography for a reconfiguration of the elements into a result in which the image is, as in Zen teachings, "the finger pointing at the moon".
