Flip book, gallery view after the intervention

A remake of Raša Todosijević's 1976 work, in which he repeatedly slapped a woman who was not permitted to respond while asking, "Was ist Kunst?"
In my version, I pose the same question while my hand strikes a male intimate body part. This time, the body responds. So, what kind of violence is tolerated in art? Is the true vulgarity in the body or in the structures that deny it?
The work was first exhibited in my solo show About the Vulgar (2018). Faced with institutional silence, I ended the exhibition with an Erratum: I dismantled the works, stacked them in a corner and left the videos running.
Since then, the work has taken different forms. In 2021, I turned a single gesture into a flipbook. By 2024, it had developed into spinning metal sculptures with crocheted phalluses.

Provocation is not static. It migrates, multiplies and confronts new taboos.
