Geneva's most famous art critic is a work of art himself

This is not related to camera phones, just photography. A new exhibit here in Geneva at the Krisal gallery, showcases one of our most intriguing citizens, Etienne Dumont - tattooed from head to toe - who is a brilliant art critic for Geneva's daily newspaper, La Tribune de Genève.

Twelve photographers have taken his portrait on the occasion of his 60th birthday. You can view image gallery here.

Lunch over IP wrote in April 2007:

Dumont is tattooed from head to toe; has plexiglas piercings on the nose and under the lower lip; a titanium ring on the left hand; rings of 70-mm (2.7 inches) of diameter on the earlobes. And two horns on his head.

Dumont says that he got his first tattoo in 1974 and his body has been a work in progress ever since.

The above photograph is by Steve Luncker.
