L’Homme et la Femme //SERIES BY JOSEF KA // Baraque studio // Louvain-la-Neuve 2023

The highly anticipated collaborative performance titled “THE REHEARSAL” and the accompanying exhibition, “L’Homme et la Femme,” by Belgian artist Thibault Delferier and International artist Josef Ka, was held on the 15th of July 2023 at Baraque studio in Louvain-la-Neuve.


In preparation for their collaborative performance, Thibault Delferier and Josef Ka have created an exhibition where they depict each other through their unique artistic styles, with a focus on self-portraiture.
By exchanging perspectives and capturing their likenesses in their respective styles, Thibault Delferier and Josef Ka aim to create a dynamic visual dialogue that highlights the contrasts and synergies between their individual approaches. The self-portraits not only showcase the physical features of the artists but also provide insights into their identities, emotions, and experiences.

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. https://eskargoeskargo.com/
