Body cinema: Dangerous Games by Marina Abramovic

Finding an performance artist who hasn’t been influenced or don’t have a deep respect to the work of Marina Abramovic would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, really.

Kassim the Dream

Obviously Brooklyn is very, very inspiring place to be… Coz when you put your fingers, eyes or mind on some art piece which has a label ‘Made in Brooklyn’, you can always expect something special.

Industrialize me, baby!

I wanted to write something on Wednesday evening about the movie I saw the same afternoon at the Human Rights Film Festival, but I’ve felt so unstrung and overloaded, because most of my friendz got cold during this week. So, I couldn’t stay simply untouched by this ‘fever’ thing. Continue reading
