Controversy[edit]

As part of the Canterbury Society of Arts 1978 festival Platforms Drummond performed Crucifixion. He was fixed to a diagonally shaped cross while a latex skin was created on his naked body, once formed the skin was shed from his body and he left the stage. Drummond wore a gas mask throughout to protect himself from the ammonia generated by the drying latex, he was also connected to an ECG machine so observers could monitor his emotional state. For the duration of the festival the discarded latex skin was laid out on the cross and exhibited with Polaroid photographs taken during the performance plus other detritus from the performance.[11]

Two people in the audience took offence at the nudity and reported the performance to the police. The police laid charges (under Section 3(d) of the Police Offences Act.), when eventually heard in court the behaviour was found to be 'ill-mannered, in bad taste, crude and offensive', but the charges were dismissed.[32]
