Lisa Berczel Body Painting Festival in Daegu, South KoreaThe term 'international' in Korea does not necessarily mean an international crowd. Quite a few special guests and competitors, however, were from beyond Korea's borders. Above is one of the American artists brought in as a special guest, Lisa Berczel. Surprisingly, she was one of the few artists to have any sort of promotional / marketing material - and thus is one of the few names I can associate with the artwork.
It's worth noting that rent-a-cop-style 'security' attempted to keep photographers from taking pictures of people in a public space. These ever-courteous 'officers' made the universal hands-crossed-in-an-X sign along with the hand-in-the-front-of-the-camera hand in an attempt to keep photographers at bay. The hilarious result was a cat-and-mouse game of photographers - with long telephoto lenses used to getting the shot through the crowd - and security personnel unsure of what exactly the rules were. Outnumbered by photographers perhaps ten-to-one, they were assisted by volunteers who stayed with some artists.
The choice of giving the photographers a hard time or giving them carte blanche seemed to be left up to the artist. Thankfully, more than a few of the models were happy to smile for photo.
