The Winter Be-coming Tree durational Live Art event showcased a multitude of contemporary artists simultaneously interacting with a chosen tree. This event encompassed 32 livestreamed performances happening around the globe. These activities, ranging from butoh-inspired dance to flamenco via complete stillness will be performed in Africa, Asia, South and North America, and all over Europe.
My part under the name “Dreams of the cut trees during the winter times” happened in Finland 9th of January 2021.
International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka 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.
