In the winter of 2018, I collaborated with Norbert Stock—artist and wine producer—on a performance YOU NEED WHAT YOU GET in the shop window of Krawany (Mödling, Austria) one of the oldest household goods shops on the planet. This project became possible thanks to the generous support of the shop itself and the inspiring collaboration with Norbert Stock. I am deeply grateful to both for their support and creative inspiration. All photos were taken by Norbert Stock. The music used was composed by J.S. Bach and sourced from a copyright-free platform. Big thanks—and long live! #performanceart#norbertstock#josefka
YOU NEED WHAT YOU GET // JOSEF KA IN COLLABORATION WITH NORBERT STOCK // MOEDLING AUSTRIA // 2018

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/ View all posts by Josef Ka
