Like Lucifer – Go! Go! Gorillo
Kurdwin Ayub
Kurdwin Ayub dances her way through Vienna in a black chador and explores public spaces. She receives amused as well as indifferent reactions from bystanders, but nothing fazes her. In the subway, Ayub casually references Isabelle Adjani’s magnificent performance in the film Possession by Andrzej Żuławski. A decidedly political music video that sparked controversial reactions online.
