VOICED: A frozen head made of blood goes on display

The video discusses Mark Quinn's Blood Head series, a unique art project where the artist creates sculptures of his own head using his blood. Since 1991, Quinn has made a new sculpture every five years to document aging. The process involves making a mold of his head, collecting blood over time, and freezing it into a sculpture. The National Portrait Gallery purchased one of these sculptures for £300,000. Quinn believes using blood makes the art more real compared to traditional materials. Despite its potentially gory concept, the artwork is appreciated for its beauty and color. Quinn plans to continue this project as long as he is able.
