Josephine Joseph

The costume she wore for the performances was split in half: one half Hercules, the other half blue angel. The naïve visual combination of male and female attributes turned out to be as interesting as it was shocking for the audience. The outward appearance and the behaviour of the performer prohibited a clear definition of gender.

Josephine Joseph can be found on Wikipedia as “possibly living person”.

Josephine Joseph is an installation/performance for 3 performers, 4 kW light and 1 camera obscura. The accessible camera obscura inherits a bended mirror which reflection is able to unite two different bodies. Accompanied by the audio instructions from outside two bodies will find their way into one figure.
