David Nebreda is a Spanish photographer who’s anything but ordinary. At the young age of 19 (which was more than 40 years ago), the Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate David Nebreda was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After the diagnosis, he locked himself up in a two bedroom apartment in Madrid and has lived there, voluntarily isolated from fleshy virus since.
David Nebreda takes no medication, maintains no communication with the outside world, owns no radio or television and reads no newspapers or books. He’s been a vegetarian for over 20 years, practices sexual abstinence and subjects himself to severe fasts through which he maintains an incredibly skinny physique (some may call him anorexic).
Being a passionate photographer with a degree in fine arts, David Nebreda uses photography as a tool with which he explores his body and his mental illness. The photos he takes often include various forms of self-mutilation, including self-inflicted cuts, flagellation, scars and pictures of the tools he applies to his skinny body temple.

Definitely I cannot consider this as art. This man is mentally ill and he is clearly suffering maybe this is his way of asking for help or at least the people around him should know he needs it. Many artists use their art to show their “dark side”, the skeletons in their closets, for example, Frida Kahlo stated: “I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality”. Even though for others her paintings were disturbing it was the way she showed how she felt about the situations that life put her through, she did not hurt herself in any way and this man mutilates himself and then takes pictures, that is not art.

I believe this kind of pictures cannot be considered like art because it is suppossed that art is about give us knowledge or show us some beauty. Also I think Nebreda cannot make a natural refection about what art is beacause he suffers mental illnes. Finally I found unpleaseant people who make hurts themselves. Valessa
