Naked woman spotted on the roof of Toynbee Studios in London

Onlookers were left confused after a naked woman was spotted on the roof of an arts studio in London.
I witness uploaded the pictures of the woman perched on top of Toynbee Studios, in the centre of the capital. She said;  "What's happening? #nakedwomanonroof".  See another pics after cut

The event was later revealed to be a piece of performance art by Poppy Jackson for the SPILL Festival of Performance.

As part of the performance, named 'Site', she will sit naked on top of Toynbee Studios between 1-5pm today Saturday.


This artist wants your menstrual blood for a performance piece
"The piece investigates questions relating to temporality, the body in site, representation and gender through consideration of the use of the body in performance as an activist practice," a press release from Toynbee Studios reads.


"The work interrogates the boundaries, access points and interaction between 'interior' and 'exterior' categories. Physical action dually presents the female body within a process of claiming space, whilst attempting to exist itself as deterritorialised space."

The artist, Poppy Jackson, previously called for donations of menstrual blood from women in London and Bradford for a project.
