Hornsleth Painting Censored

Readers may remember the name Kristian von Hornsleth, the artist who launched the Pig for Name Project which provided Ugandan villagers with a pig if they changed their names to Hornsleth.

Launched in 2006, the project has arguably been a failure since all the pigs got sick and died, prompting Ugandans to no longer answer to the name Hornsleth.

However, from another perspective the project was an overwhelming success. The Hornsleth name became known globally. As a PR stunt, the Pig for Name Project worked.

In recent news, Hornsleth has completed a project to keep his name in headlines. The project is a 9-foot by 18-foot painting depicting various world leaders engaged in sex acts. The painting has been described as a satirical gang bang.

Without doubt the painting is pornographic and an art gallery in Cologne, Germany, has been strongly warned not to display the piece.

And even though an image of the NSFW painting is available for download, it's too graphic for this blog. Interested readers can view it here.
