In this historical context, we understand that extreme body modification is a protest against these losses that limit and impoverish the human condition, using an appearance that is foreign to the hegemonic, capable of provoking shock and astonishment, denouncing the dehumanization of life, dehumanizing themselves, or that is, seeking a body image that approaches the non-human. However, in a contradictory way, extreme body modification is a commodity, carrying within itself all the constitutive foundations of capitalism, against which it protests and despises, revealing to us that we are facing an object that expresses the losses and precariousness of the human, but it is also a movement of resistance and facing the established
