posted this on the challenge thread and mummy disqualified it for disrespecting community rules, claiming it’s “body horror”.

i showed it offline to other people and the response was that it’s absurd and not horror.

for me it’s funny, clownesque, stupid and provocative.

you may not like it, it’s ok. You’re welcome to downVote it. The question is: Is this horror?

    Doesn’t this question highlight the subjectivity of art? Personally I wouldn’t call it body horror, but absurd definitely seems to fit, and probably surreal too. I wouldn’t call it “horror” either, but if someone has a clown phobia they might disagree.
