PPP Mental prison 2
“Past Present Permanent (mental prison)”, Macedonian-born Josifov will perform at the Waterfront, 222 12th Ave, during the Bridge Art Fair in NYC. Thursday, March 5th, 2009. Performance from 7pm until 10pm.
Josifov will focus on his most important and primary medium — his body, to communicate his own experience and comment on the general concept of self. Part of the project will involve an installation of blurred silkscreen faces, enhanced by the echoes of rhythmic corporeal sounds. The sound is from the last voice mail received by Josifov from Renata G. The artist Renata G remains in a coma with a traumatic brain injury sustained March 9, 2008, as she rode her bicycle to work on her pending show at California College of the Arts. Josifov will shave his head and have a line tattooed on his scalp between the two halves of his brain, representing absent memories and loss. In this ritualistic performance, Josifov will mark the one year anniversary since the accident. Allowing him to work through the mental stages of the shocking loss of his collaborator in life and work.
