Delvoye also creates [[Goth subculture|gothic]] style work. In 2001, Delvoye, with the help of a [[radiologist]], had several of his friends paint themselves with small amounts of [[Radiocontrast agent|barium]], and perform [[wikt:explicit|explicit]] [[Human sexual activity|sexual]] acts in medical X-ray clinics. He then used the X-ray scans to fill gothic window frames instead of classic [[stained glass]]. Delvoye suggests that radiography reduces the body to a machine.<ref name=”AmyNYT”/>

Delvoye also works in [[laser cutting|laser-cut]] steel to produce sculptures of utilitarian objects typically found in construction (like a cement truck<ref name=”cement truck”>{{cite web |title=Cement Truck |url=http://www.designartnews.com/news/vip_art_fair_2_0/item/24_485_jpg |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211043027/http://www.designartnews.com/news/vip_art_fair_2_0/item/24_485_jpg/ |archive-date=2012-02-11 |url-status=dead}}</ref>), customized in seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque style.
