What do TV personality Kim Kardashian, fashion designer Tan France, and models Chrissy Teigen and Andreja Pejic have in common? Recently, these famous people surprised their followers by posting pictures with freaky body modifications. And they all did it for the same reason.
Recent Instagram fashion trends, like squiggly lips or feather brows, might give you an impression that the future of beauty is wild and unpredictable. But if you could change your body image as easily as you change your clothes, would you? That’s precisely the question that A. Human, an experimental immersive theatrical experience, is asking, and these celebrities are showcasing examples of what the visitors will see.
A. Human, conceived by Simon Huck, is opening at 48 Mercer Street, New York City on September 5. The interactive event uses set design, technology, prosthetics, special effects makeup, live actors and more to blur the gap between reality and fantasy while asking questions about self-expression.
“We didn’t want to root any of our body mods on the idea of existing insecurities or discomforts,” Simon Huck told VOGUE. “A. Human is about the freedom to explore this world and live in this world in any way you choose.”
This futuristic take on the world looks worthy of a sci-fi movie. The visitors will be offered to swap their shoes for a conch-shell-like permanent heel or have new DNA-mirrored hearts created and implanted for them. And while people on the internet can’t decide if these mods and SFX makeup looks are creepy or cool, Huck reminds us of the positive nature of the event. “When you think of the future, you think dark, dystopian—there are all these images that come to mind. I didn’t want to create a utopian world, but I definitely wanted to create a world that was optimistic or, at the bare minimum, neutral,” he said. Scroll down to check out the body outfits and tell us what you think about them in the comments.

Ok people - THIS IS NOT BODY MODIFICATION. ITS MAKE UP. ITS TEMPORARY THEATRICAL MAKEUP TO ADVERTISE A FILM. CHILL.
NOPE! BORED PANDA SAID IT'S CREEPY BODY MODIFICATIONS AND IT'S FREAKING THE ENTIRE INTERNET OUT, SO YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE. I CANNOT CHILL OVER THIS. PROBABLY EVER. In all seriousness, people just need to read the article to learn that they're not body modifications.
In fact, money apart, they're fucking awesome!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA @Victor Vakaras thanks for that.

You're kind of a jerk, Vickie. What's the matter? Miss your drugs today?
It's also kind of cool. I only have one question. Why does La Kardashian want to look like a $2.99 blow up doll?
No trick. How do people find that attractive? She's hauling around more plastic than a Tupperware party.
I might be a jerk, but at least I'm not an boring, unoriginal turd like you. "Miss your drugs today" tur hur huuuur hurrrrr! Maybe next you can imply I live in my mom's basement.
Right?! I don't get why people are getting so workeup up over this, come on, it's makeup!! It's temporary, not a body modification
It doesn't matter if it's real or not. Some people will try to do this to themselves with horrid consequences. I have seen photos of real people with real skin implants, but it was not trying to be made "popular" or "shocking". All in all, this is just trying TOO HARD to be hip and cool.
Wow, for some reason that really grossed me out. But yeah, live your life the way want. I want to live my life having never seen that looking creepy stuff.
