The performance reflects the soul architecture of the fool in the environment and is a part of the ongoing IS A POET IS A FOOL performance project, which revolves around the figure of the fool. It began in 2014 and encompasses many mediums, including live, photo and video performances, sculptures, installations, drawings, paintings and poetry. It is an absurd and at times seemingly futile search for existential meaning amidst the insanity of the early 21st century. The fool observes things as an outsider, from beyond time and space, destabilizing reality just enough to gain a larger perspective. Understanding that perspective in the here and now is not given, but the fool offers a feeling for its existence.
Additional
Aside from basic color corrections, the images have not been digitally edited or manipulated. All optical oddities in the image have been achieved through the use of mirrors. There are five 30x40 cm prints in 30x40cm frames. And two 30x40 cm prints in 50x60cm frames.
