Spanish term

supliciado

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a text on performance art by an Argentine critic. It means, as far as I can tell, one who receives a plea, but I would love to find a more specific term:

Hay tanta resistencia en la obra de XXX, que se hace disparar un arma de fuego a tres metros de distancia, como en el supliciado que está en el centro de la obra de nuestra artista

Thanks!

Me parece... ...ser un calco del francés, "supplicié", alguien sometido a un castigo. Supplice, castigo, pena.
