Now in its 18th year, the World Bodypainting Festival continues to grow and attract talent and fascination from across the world. ‘A Fusion of Body and Beats’ brought both competitors and fans to Austria for bodypainting’s biggest event of the year. From fraught competition areas and hands-on workshops, to the surreal Body Circus event to work off the Festival’s tension, Bodypaint City was vibrant and eclectic over the weekend.
