The Performance Art Archive Team had the pleasure to announce the upcoming performance
BORIS NIESLONY, Performance Art
in the VORUM VIKTORIABAD, May 19, 7 pm
For more than 40 years, artist BORIS NIESLONY (* October 2, 1945 in Grimma) has been a participant in international performance festivals and a source of inspiration in Europe. The question of the network, a network sustaining over decades, led him to found, among other things, an international archive for performance art: “Black Kit | Die Schwarze Lade” (Black Kit | The Black Ark). The archive, based in Cologne, provided the VORUM VIKTORIABAD with a video trace – a special thank you for this.
For decades NIESLONY has been dealing with violence, death and pain. How are humans capable of inflicting such atrocities on one another? He dedicated some performances and installations to the victims of genocides and massacres, drowning out his pain at human inhumanity with his own physical pain. In the VIKTORIABAD, the stringently working artist will bring together this “night side” of his work with the “day side”. For this purpose, he will install the 5-meter diving tower as well as the twilight in the large swimming pool and create a still, haunting image that intersects our present.
Entry is free, admission from the age of 16.
Please note that there are photographs of killed people in the performance.
