Brilliant and bizarre performance artist Michael Shaowanasai, better known in Thailand as super heroine Iron Pussy, reinterprets the symbols of feminine divinity to transform himself into a revered public monument. Inspired by a penetrating dialogue with a handsome Dutch theologian, he bestows his new divine persona with the title Our Lady of the Low Countries.
Thailand, especially Bangkok, is a lowland country too, he says. When we look up to our celebrated icons, we only see 180 degrees, or just one side, of them. This is why Our Lady is photographed on a pedestal in the middle of a busy traffic circle. People drive around Her and get a 360 degree view.

Whether you find Michaels work delicious or offensive, Our Ladys high-wattage glamour and sanctity is sure to electrify.
