Much like Vampire Woman and Lizard Man, Jenya Bolotov (26) wanted to become something else and used body modification to do so. In Bolotov’s case, it was to become a platypus.

“Externally, I am now a platypus,” Bolotov said. “My resemblance is the way I want it to be. It takes bravery to do what I’ve done and I will keep modifying my body until I am happy.”




This video of Jenya Bolotov will play on repeat on a large screen in this room. It explains the process and thought behind his modifications and gives valuable insight into motivations.
