An Endless Battle
Three figures, 75 liters of fake blood, an endless battle – Blood Show is a call to put what’s inside on the outside and defend oneself against violent gazes. This cyclical feat of endurance and precision is a euphoric trans celebration of destruction – including our own – in order to create something new. Questions revolve around the concept of rebirth and the ghosts we carry with us. Blood Show is the second performance in Ocean Stefan’s “Extinction” trilogy – an experiment to reflect on the limits of the human body. Why do we want to know what people “really” look like? How dangerous is the idea of the “natural”?
Ocean Stefan makes work with runs across performance, installations, texts and film. Their artistic practice moves in the in-between and in superimposition – it celebrates the living and the blurred. Ocean Stefan is interested in the gray areas of life and questions the fixed.
