Djurperformance – Häst-performance
Animal Performances – Horse Performance
Joanna Rytel
»My work has three main characteristics. One is my interest in the relation between animals and humans. In my Animal Performances I am seen dancing in front of sheep, goats, horses, cows and stripping in front of monkeys. The spectator becomes a voyeur, watching the animals who are watching me. The spectators are deprived of their passive roles. Who is looking at whom and why? Who has the power over the gaze, the power over seeing?«
