37. Were he at a hotel swimming pool or the beach, nobody would think anything of it.

He's as covered up as any man in a bathing suit. That's the point, really. Putting him at a museum demonstrates just how conscious we are of place.

There are several videos on youtube of his performance art stuff. Search for Adam Overton.

Isolated, the photo represents something different from the actual event.

It's not really disturbing when you know the context. The museum goers weren't disturbed. See the videos.
