Q&A: Does anyone know of any current artists whose work focuses on a celebration of their own body?

Question by : Does anyone know of any current artists whose work focuses on a celebration of their own body?
I am looking to develop a list of artists whose work centers around a celebration of their own bodies. This is open to all kinds of art: visual (painting, illustration, photography, sculpture, etc.), performing, independent film, music, abstract or representational.

Thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
