What your looking at here is an ongoing project entitled "Self" by artist Marc Quinn. A more detailed explanation is that you are looking at a sculputre of Quinns own head made from 4.5 liters of his own frozen blood. The blood is taken from his own body over a period of five months. The work is then repeated every five years to establish a unique record of the artist aging.
