HAPPENINGS

The Art World belongs in a museum. It's chic. That's sad.
I dont want it to be called “social art" or "esthetique relationelle”.
The goal is simple: an honest release - the very opposite of snobbery.
I believe true creation is to produce raw animal alchemy & human electricity.
I can best describe what I do as an installation where the main act is the public.

orchestrated chaos

There is nothing like magic moments.
When people are most alive we forget time and look like sculptures.

never-liked-you-anyway

"I Never Liked You Anyway"
Goddess of Pain & Freedom.

If you think it's just a party,
you know nothing about pain. or rebirth.

Good Luck Everyone!!
