Opening
6. February 2010, 20:00
The events host is Lukas Zpira

Exclusively for his exhibition in Abnormals Gallery Lukas Zpira has chosen the most significant works from his past projects.

Portraying people from his environment the artist illustrates the ideas from his Body Hacktivism manifesto. Using their bodies as a medium, the protagonists of his photographs reinvent themselves, ignoring common beauty icons and passing natural biological frontiers. In contrary to the pictures portraying the environment of the artist the video "Seuls les mieux adaptes survivrons" show Lukas Zpira himself during his performances he has been giving all over the world.
For the opening event on 6th February a 20 min preview of the film is on display, while the full length version (app. 4h) can be seen during the opening hours of the gallery.

Bad to the bone
One grows weak by justifying and explaining... trying so hard to show an image, perhaps we don't show the right one. Aren't we facing the media like rapturous dogs about a stinky bone?
