Summary:

The Torture Garden follows up its first, club-based book with the sequel Body Probe, an anthology of interviews, features and images exploring the boundaries of the human body at the edge of the new millennium.

Contents include: David Cronenberg, Hermann Nitsch, Chapman Brothers, Orlan, Stelarc, Ron Athey, Della Grace, Nick Knight, Alex Binnie, plus alien abduction, sex in space, medical fetishism, robot art, mutation in fashion, self-made freaks, the cybernetic body and S/M art.
