A performance artist was arrested in Trafalgar Square for inviting strangers to fondle and stroke her br*asts and vagi*a as an ‘expression of art’.
Model Invites Strangers To Touch Her In Public, Gets Arrested
The model named Milo Moire had been in London promoting her ‘Mirror Box’ show – in which she offers members of the public the chance to feel brea*ts or genitals for thirty seconds.
But she was arrested by police following a complaint from a passer-by clearly unimpressed with her routine. The concept of her routine – which she has also taken to Dusseldorf and Amsterdam – was to promote women’s rights not to be touched.
She offers people over the age of 18 the opportunity to touch her brea*ts or genitals while she uses a stopwatch to time them. Ms Moire told a media firm that the police warned her she was breaking the law, before arresting her and taking her to court.
She added other countries in Europe had a more liberal and accepting approach to her ‘show’. In Amsterdam it was very different – they are more free towards sexuality,’ she said. ‘But in London it was more strict – too strict I think. They don’t understand this form of performance.’
She also said her audience in London were ‘very interested’: ‘Then some mothers called the police I think because they felt offended. ‘t won’t stop me. It is a risk, but it is a risk I am willing to take.’ She appeared in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty. She was fined £750, and ordered to pay £85 costs and a victim surcharge of £75.
