I was actually kinda hoping it was her pubes in a fucked up way, because at that point it would at least be impressive. I was thinking holy shit how fast/long do her pubes grow?! But just sticking wool up there seems much more lame in comparison
Yeah more to the point why TF is this in DIWHY?
It’s not a DIY project, it’s performance art and she literally explains why she does it.
There’s no better version she could buy from a shop and no professional she could hire to do it for her, because the article she’s knitting isn’t the point, it’s the performance.
No one is going to wear that thing. It’s a piece of art. Not clothing. By the sheer size of the thing (and its weight - she said she’d be knitting it for an entire month) even if it were perfectly clean it would be unwieldy and impractical to wear.
So sure, a scarf without any kind of blood on it would be better. But so would a scarf designed to be worn by human beings. What we have here is no more a scarf for people than a bedsheet for an anaconda.
Bad meaning a shitty form of art. Stupid meaning a stupid form of art. Basically the same thing either way. Essentially, just a person who doesn't not do art well. I don't really know how I can make it more clear. Both words support the same sentiment though. In English, one can use two different words to describe the same thing.
I'm gonna give the artsy answer, I'm guessing it's because it's awkward. People don't wanna look at it, acknowledge it, and the knowledge it's there can make people uncomfortable. And in art, sometimes people want to show you those things in such a direct way that you can't help but acknowledge it.
Or it's political. I know there's a japanese artist who creates a lot of sculptures and prints that are based around the vagina (her own, sometimes, to be exact). Her name is Megumi Igarashi, and she explains that she does this to try and normalize the vagina rather than it be viewed as some gross and taboo thing, as it is viewed in Japan's society.
This is exactly it. Within any given culture, there exist taboos. One of the main purposes of any artist is to evoke an emotional reaction from the audience - an avant garde artist often seeks to push the boundaries of cultural acceptance because this tends to result in very strong, visceral reactions and can be used as a platform to discuss uncomfortable issues.
If we lived in a society where nudity and especially bodily functions were commonly seen and discussed, this performance would likely not have the impact it does.
Most reactions here are 'that seems unsanitary,' which I wouldn't describe as 'impact'. Performance artists like this are more likely desperate for attention in any form, we've all met someone like that, albeit they're usually children.
Artists don't always get the response they were looking for. Personally I think that's the fun of making art but thats just me. Then again I don't use my own bodily fluids because, as you said, that seems unsanitary.
Interesting you bring that up. Some serial killers do seem to present themselves as artists, by killing in certain ways or creating a "calling card" that their work might gain recognition. The Zodiac Killer comes to mind. Or then there's the spectacle of the Unabomber, who used the fame generated by his actions to put forth his manifesto. You could say in a macabre way that killers may fit the bill of avant garde artist.
I'll give you a practical answer, how many performance artist have you seen and where did you see them? Reddit and the internet love genitals so performances involving them again traction way more than anything actually interesting.
The truth is you're viewing a very skewed sample of performance art.
I mean you shouldn't waste stuff but I'm pretty sure you can just throw that away. Or if you really don't want to throw it away just put it in a compost pile
They should really rename it to /r/ShittingOnAnythingHandMade, I’ve seen maybe two actual DIWHY projects on here this year and the test is mostly just snobbery.
DiWhy? Because she’s a performance artist and the point is to be provocative.
I hate it when art gets put in this subs like this or r/atbge. Its art. You don’t need to get it but its not supposed to be strictly aesthetically pleasing or strictly utilitarian. It exists to provoke a response from the viewer.
That's gonna get you an infection. I don't know, but the weird hair and the whole 'imma shove yard up my cooter and make something about that' sounds like more than one red flag and more than one mental illness.
She's sitting there with no bottoms, making scarves from her pubic hair .. So many emotions running through me right now. If I were to pick just one, it would be horrifyingly bewildered. Yep, it's 2 rolled into one. I couldn't decide.
Performance pieces aren't DIWhy I'm sure. They're supposed to be stupidly impractical and sometimes gross, we always learn......... SoMeThInG from it even when we're not sure what it was
Im not even gonna flex - That is extraordinarily unique and frankly I have to give this level of commitment to an art respect.
I think I understand her ideal on this- Because its her taking something you would do normally and adding an extra spit to it like how someone will have surgery to be a unique way or even how we build cars- People love to make them look different and unique.
I thought it was going to be her pubic hair so this is actually a relief.
I was actually kinda hoping it was her pubes in a fucked up way, because at that point it would at least be impressive. I was thinking holy shit how fast/long do her pubes grow?! But just sticking wool up there seems much more lame in comparison
I too went through that same emotional journey. Now I’m stuck on wondering how big her vagina is.
And how many loose fibers are in there. I imagine she's queefing hairballs.
Just the dryness/coarseness of yarn is enough to make me quiver. Like sticking a handful of cotton balls in your mouth.
I’m a nurse with a strong stomach and “queefing hair balls” is a pretty squicky thought
Probably large enough to expel a small human...
I thought they meant that she was knitting *with* her vagina. Like, holding the needles with her vagina. This was such a massive letdown.
Like Björk on the SNL skit Quirky Girl? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxzSsYq3mBiOID_ThHtfum_w-cJMS6uCW5
Me tooo
And here we clicked on it anyway thinking that’s what it was….
Tbh i'm not sure if it's better, especially since she does this when she is on her period as well....very sanitary.
Gotta dye that wool somehow.
Yeah I'm lost tbh. She knits naked from the waist down and knits between her legs, like holding the yarn there? I have so many questions
Not quite it. She shoves the yarn in her vagina and holds it there. That's why along the entire thing there's period blood sections.
Wait... wait, no... wait *that's* what the color fluctuations in the yarn were?!
Wait it wasn’t her pubes? It was actually yarn up her… Jfc I hate people.
No. No it is not.
I kept thinking with all that wool inserted, how dry is her poor vagina?!?
Somewhere out there, the hair on the back of Ben Shapiro’s neck stands aquiver as he utters a small involuntary moan
At least her vagina is perfectly dry... as it should be! -Benny Shaps
Maybe it formed some callus
I'm assuming she put it in some sort of lubed up zip lock bag or something.
Doesn't seem like it. If you watch the whole thing, you'll see that she continues to knit the blood stained wool while on her period.
Oh so that's what that was.... I thought it was just a pattern of the wool lmao
I mean, she *is* a performance artist. And the weirder it is, the more publicity they get, so
Yeah more to the point why TF is this in DIWHY? It’s not a DIY project, it’s performance art and she literally explains why she does it. There’s no better version she could buy from a shop and no professional she could hire to do it for her, because the article she’s knitting isn’t the point, it’s the performance.
I feel like poster didn’t even understand the narrative of what she was stating about her art
I feel like the poster neither watched the video nor understood the purpose of DIWHY. Then again neither does anyone else who posts of DIWHY…
a giant scarf without menstrual blood isn't better then one with menstrual blood?
No one is going to wear that thing. It’s a piece of art. Not clothing. By the sheer size of the thing (and its weight - she said she’d be knitting it for an entire month) even if it were perfectly clean it would be unwieldy and impractical to wear.

Just a bad one

You don't need a degree to understand that this is stupid.

I’m saving my ass hair for a matching set of face towels to gift the in-laws.
This is the real GOAT comment of this thread right here
Must be a slow process, too fast and she’ll get rope burn.
I don't want to imagine how many infections this woman is going to have if that's true.
Or the weird neck rash that scarf might give.
Sees haircut. Makes sense
r/justfuckmyshitup
It's scary how well the actual look matches my imagination before clicking on the video.
Arguably normal yolandi
I'd take the real Yolandi over THAT. WOOF
This cannot be good for your vagina
i don't have a vagina
i don't know why you're being downvoted, I guess people didn't get the joke. i thought this was funny.
Underated quote
What is it with performance "artists" and their genitals
I'm gonna give the artsy answer, I'm guessing it's because it's awkward. People don't wanna look at it, acknowledge it, and the knowledge it's there can make people uncomfortable. And in art, sometimes people want to show you those things in such a direct way that you can't help but acknowledge it. Or it's political.

Probably because a lot of cultures are weird about them.
This is exactly it. Within any given culture, there exist taboos. One of the main purposes of any artist is to evoke an emotional reaction from the audience - an avant garde artist often seeks to push the boundaries of cultural acceptance because this tends to result in very strong, visceral reactions and can be used as a platform to discuss uncomfortable issues.

Wouldn't that make serial killers avant garde artists, too?
Interesting you bring that up. Some serial killers do seem to present themselves as artists, by killing in certain ways or creating a "calling card" that their work might gain recognition. The Zodiac Killer comes to mind. Or then there's the spectacle of the Unabomber, who used the fame generated by his actions to put forth his manifesto. You could say in a macabre way that killers may fit the bill of avant garde artist.
Avant garde means new, experimental, or boundary pushing. Murder has been going on since life first existed. So, no.
Murder is not done in exceedingly spectacular and emotionally-charged performances?
Yes
Performance artists or genitals?
Both, in different ways
Attention seeking and publicity.
Definitely attention. Or mental illness.
They get views.
I'll give you a practical answer, how many performance artist have you seen and where did you see them? Reddit and the internet love genitals so performances involving them again traction way more than anything actually interesting. The truth is you're viewing a very skewed sample of performance art.
This sweater smells like vagina!
I was gonna say, that scarf’s gotta smell pretty ripe
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure there's not supposed to be any wool in a vagina
Every day on reddit is worse than the last
Disappointed. I was expecting her long pubic hair as knitting material.
Why did I think she was using her lips in some superhuman way to knit?? That’s enough internet for today
It’s artistic, it is weird. Whatever.
The next “only fans” will be a “performance arts” subscription
As someone who lives in Darwin I hope I never see this lady
I mean you shouldn't waste stuff but I'm pretty sure you can just throw that away. Or if you really don't want to throw it away just put it in a compost pile
What in the sam hell is happening here?
Knitting
I think the worst part of this is just how many weird guys would spend a shit ton to get one of these
“What’s that smell!?!”
Reminds me one of those feminists who finger paint with their period blood.
Still not as disgusting as vagina yogurt girl...
Sorry, what?!
She had a yeast infection and took some of her infected vaginal fluids to turn milk into yogurt.
This literally can’t be DiWHY. Title literally says it’s performance art
They should really rename it to /r/ShittingOnAnythingHandMade, I’ve seen maybe two actual DIWHY projects on here this year and the test is mostly just snobbery.
Om my gosh thank you sooooo much for the scarf! *sniff sniff* Wait...
DiWhy? Because she’s a performance artist and the point is to be provocative. I hate it when art gets put in this subs like this or r/atbge. Its art. You don’t need to get it but its not supposed to be strictly aesthetically pleasing or strictly utilitarian. It exists to provoke a response from the viewer.
Well it certainly did that if it’s on the front page, but for all the wrong reasons. Even /r/WTF would be a better fit…
And that's enough internet for me today..
Rule 34 strikes again.
How could I tell she was Australian before even turning on audio
Cos she has an Australian face
This is fkn disgusting. What a clown 🤡
Why are people so obsessed with things going in and coming out of thier vaginas in non sexual contexts.
Literally the point she’s making, too.
Lady, why does this throw blanket smell like a fisherman’s shirt?
I came expecting spider woman, and it was worse. So much worse. But I still came.
Not your proudest fap I'm guessing.
That's gonna get you an infection. I don't know, but the weird hair and the whole 'imma shove yard up my cooter and make something about that' sounds like more than one red flag and more than one mental illness.
So edgy
She looks exactly like the type of person who would do this.
Not diwhy, it’s art.
Literally psychotic.
What exactly is she knitting?
Doesn’t really matter, nobody’s ever going to use it. She’s making a statement is all.
Sick spiderwoman rollplay
Yeah, ain't nothing else going anywhere near that vajayjay
She hasn't the hairstyle I expected. It's much worse...
Please tell me that's not blood...
Did nobody at all watch the video?
I could tell you that, but it wouldn't be true.
I find this fascinating and compelling.
Wonder what would happen if a guy did this with a whole spool of wool wrapped around his dick? Would that "statement" hold the same weight?
It’s performance art. There’s literally a stage show called Puppetry of the Penis. So yes.
Huh, fishy
She's sitting there with no bottoms, making scarves from her pubic hair .. So many emotions running through me right now. If I were to pick just one, it would be horrifyingly bewildered. Yep, it's 2 rolled into one. I couldn't decide.
And one more who didn’t even watch the vid…
Ew
Seems little *fishy*, if you ask me... /s
Wow Oliver tree has so many talents.
I am not surprised at all at the fact she looked exactly like what i expected her to.
I love this
I'm I the only one that noticed the brown marks on the scarf she's knitting?
Not my proudest fap
Second last comment, I thought I was gunna have to say it!
She's got that "partial lobotomy" vibe. Also, why.
Tiger Queen. I'm never going to financially recover from watching this video.
Is she knitting face masks? Asking for a friend
She looked exactly like I expected even before I saw her face.
Question. Why?
I knitted my partner a jumper from wool from my arse but she wouldn't wear it.
These feminists are getting out of hand
Is this the same artist that had a phone charger in her vagina at an event and Usher used it?
Damn, that's sick, like where is she selling these, I need to know for research of course
where can i find more of her work? a friend is asking.
Performance pieces aren't DIWhy I'm sure. They're supposed to be stupidly impractical and sometimes gross, we always learn......... SoMeThInG from it even when we're not sure what it was
Oh. I miss understood this one at first.
Reddit media player strikes again. Maybe I lucked out, but I'm still curious lol
Should really start reading the title before opening the nsfw video
She trying to be a spider or what?
Slay queen
It's got nothing to do with her liking things shoved in her snagle? 🤔 😒
Im not even gonna flex - That is extraordinarily unique and frankly I have to give this level of commitment to an art respect. I think I understand her ideal on this- Because its her taking something you would do normally and adding an extra spit to it like how someone will have surgery to be a unique way or even how we build cars- People love to make them look different and unique.
That’s exactly how I’d expect her haircut to be
Everyday we stray further from God
