Far Away by Josef Ka // 6th Moscow Biennale of modern art 2015
With this performance I participated in Moscow Biennale 2015 in Venice Biennale 2017 (it was a part of a group project) and In Rome Festival of special arts (Rome, December 2018)
Description: a human being inside of a square taped on the floor, moving from the very beginning of life till the end. The frame of the performance is always the same but the final cut is always site-specific.
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka’s blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art.
Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind.
Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists.
In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA.
