Paris Hilton's 'naked corpse' in drink-driving art campaign

Paris Hilton has been sculpted as a naked corpse in a bizarre art campaign to warn against the dangers of drink driving.



The hotel heiress, who was arrested for Driving Under the Influence last September, is the subject of a sculpture by New York artist Daniel Edwards - famous for his piece depicting Britney Spears giving birth on all fours.

The statue, entitled 'Paris Hilton Autopsy', shows the 26-year-old socialite lying naked with her legs splayed wearing a tiara and clutching a mobile phone. Her pet Chihuahua Tinkerbell is resting its front paws on Paris' breasts.



The sculpture has an open abdominal cavity with removable life-size internal organs, which visitors to the exhibition can remove.

The artwork will be unveiled on May 11 at New York's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery as the centre piece for a public service announcement warning against drink driving, called 'Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth'.



Gallery director David Kesting said: "It is designed to counter the disturbingly glamorised trend of Hollywood's girls gone wild."

"I think Daniel is really trying to embrace Paris' stance against youth drunk driving and the dangers that alcohol presents to young women in our society."
