The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins

Thirty African women lie face down on a white canvas on the floor of a fish market. Their eyes are shut, their bodies motionless. There is no talking and no sound. The artist Vanessa Beecroft, makes wide, wild red paint strokes over their naked bodies. Genocide. Darfur. Jackson Pollock. The artist's ability to create a visual image that stings the mind. Cameras flash, video cameras roll.
