PER FORMA: THE CRACK // BY JOSEF KA // FAIR FOR ART VIENNA 2025
PER FORMA: THE CRACK — Performance by Josef Ka The Crack — Part I (29 Sept 2025)
A body, a ten-meter canvas over a staircase, ten liters of paint, one black line. Nothing rehearsed. Everything lived.
Two parts of this larger three-hour performance were shown at Fair for Art Vienna @fairforartvienna, hosted by Atelier Galerie Roland Puschitz @atelier_galerie_rolandpuschitz.
Big Thanks to: Roland Puschitz • Walter Ulreich • Marcel Plavec • Mani De Pan • Nocturne’s Creatures • @miss.inframe
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.
