Armless, genital-less, immobile. Like a giant thing with missing bits.

Noted for their minimalist style, often wearing nothing more than custom styled and monogrammed handkerchiefs over their nipples, they are a peculiar bunch.

It is not often that such, formerly reclusive, artistes are seen in the wild. Catch it now while you can, 5 Stars, The Guardian.
Obviously it will only be a matter of time before this performance loses some of the cutting edge that has rightly made the Schneidermeister something of an expert in this field, or is it a yard?
Right, I'm off to listen to Trans-Europe Express, but here's Señor Coconut with their version of the Kraftwerk song, Showroom Dummies.
