Aug 6th, 2022
11.30am - 4.30pm

@ BangBang Festival (Tinguely Museum)
Basel, Switzerland

What does a nude body in public space evoke in people? Desire? Sexual urge? Annoyance? Disgust? Neutrality? Whenever, I sunbathe nude in Basel, 99% of time, I get harrassed by comments, direct verbal propositions, ``secretive`` gazes, or men masturbating while looking at me from a distance without asking a permission whether they can use my physical body as their object of desire. That makes me think what is the relationship to the naked body in Basel? What is the understanding of power and consent? What are the boundaries in between naked bodies?  I intend to perform a politically decapitalised body which becomes more than a form. It is not only a vehicle for expression but rather it is the content of the expression. This performance is a participatory 5h long duration piece depicting social reality while turning strangeness into a social elegance.
