Rage and Compassion

Gender is sexism. Heteronormativity is suffocating. My body is a battlefield.
Performance and performativity. Gender politics and body re-appropriation. Those are the physical expressions of feelings toward an invasive social reality. They are simple bullets of rage and compassion shot at patriarchal culture to offer an alternative to an oppressive binary system of thoughts.
Using body modification and body plays based practices, I attempt to blur gender stereotypes, exploring new identities, deconstructing a birth assigned role to create a more fitted individuality to my desires. Skin is a playground, flesh a sand pit, my body is there to be played with. Some of the practices I am involved in are painful, but what is pain? “Pain is just an intense physical sensation” (Fakir Musafar). I see Pain as a social construct...like Gender, Race, Class, Species, Nature...and like those pain can be deconstructed, can be overcome and used as a tool for creativity, for questioning, for experimenting with my own boundaries.

Rich-live art performance mark

I did this tattoo on Rich Kightley as a final step of a live performance that happened on the 31st of September in Dilston grove, in London. This is a quote produced by a member of the audience responding to Rich stimuli. The outcome was unknown until the end. I am looking forward for the next one.

Rich Kightley performance at BEG, BORROW, STEAL show in Dilston Grove featuring myself as a tattooer. 

BEG BORROW STEAL- 27/04/2013

I will be participating in Richard Kightley performance on the 27th of April during the BEG BORROW STEAL show at CGP London Dilston Grove.

 all infos over there : https://www.facebook.com/events/372633426183977/ 


“For centuries, it has been widely recognised that many who create that anomaly known as "art” may well be looked upon as outsiders, deviants, depraved or mad …and vice versa. BEG, BORROW, STEAL will call upon the spirits of famous artistic, professional (and only sometimes deceased) degenerates such as Genet, Bataille, Orridge, Artaud, Kahlo, Wilde, Emin, Camus, Darger, DeLarverie, Bacon and Duchamp (to name a few). There will be a reconsecration of this one-time church in a new guise, as a haven for those outside of the norm, for some impossibly ‘queer’ artists and their 'odd-fellow’ associates.

Beginning gradually from the early afternoon, Dilston Grove will be occupied by a handful of works to be surveyed and interfered with by visitors, who are encouraged to look upon this wholly unholy environment from their entirely unique perspectives. Later into the day and evening will be a smorgasbord of shorter performance works building to a crescendo of celebration for the outside, the inside, the upside and the flipside.

ALL ARE WELCOME.
