Project Far Away is a site specific performance by Josef Ka. Has been shown in Moscow Biennale 2016, Venice Biennale 2017, Performance Festival Poesia Carnosa in Rome 2018. The main concept – everything is so far away from us and even we believe it`s close it can`t be closer than our imagination of it. I made two versions far away: love and far away: happiness. The last one was shown in Rome.

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. https://eskargoeskargo.com/ View all posts by Josef Ka
