THIS CROSSES THE LINE: FEMALE ARTIST STRIPS NAKED AT SACRED CATHOLIC SITE, LOURDES IN FRONT OF SHOCKED BELIEVERS [PHOTOS]

Female artist, Deborah de Robertis, shocked believers by stripping completely naked and posing at a sacred Catholic site in Lourdes, France, in front of horrified believers.

The 34-year-old is reportedly known for her provocative displays across the country, sttod naked in front of the famous statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, in the Occitanie region with only a blue veil on her head as she clasped her hands in front of her in a praying position at the pilgrimage hotspot.

Police were called to the scene immediately and Deborah was arrested and placed in custody for a few hours.

The 34-year-old performer was ordered to attend the correctional hearing on 19th May to be tried for sexual exhibition.

This is not the first time the artist has been in the news for exhibitionism. In October, she stripped naked in a performance at the Louvre Museum in Paris, next to the famous painting of the Mona Lisa, and faced court charges, which were dismissed shortly after the trial began. She was, however, given 35 hours of community service for biting a museum guard when he tried to remove her from the area.

Speaking in court, de Robertis said that performance was intended to "question the place of women in the history of art."
