Xenia Perek ft. Pierre Bujeau, An Axe

“It looks like I create characters, but in fact, it’s more of a dis-location, someone who is just one step ahead of ‘me’. Performance seems to be always one step ahead and then penetrates retroactively. Sneaky shit. I don’t do performance pieces, a show which you can see here and there again. Each time it is a new gravity, new intensity, and new inclination.

I like how Slavoy Žižek talks about de-eventualization, and the undoing of democracy. Semi-unconsciously, that is why I re-do the power, the surveillance, the impact, the territory - because I doubt the dimension of living nowadays is liberal, all I see are contemporary democratic regimes. Orientalism, capitalism, militarism - various hegemonic, logocentric discourses. I built my own psychokinetic methodology for it.”

Xenia overlaps disciplines such as fine art, performance art, dance and MC. Her works are characterized by sexual and intentional ambiguity, boldness and display.
