BLACK MAGIC SHOES

performance >>> vienna, austria >>> 2022

the upbringing methods of my generation were marked by “shame on you” rhetoric >>> yes, we were ashamed >>> we were ashamed when our horny peers threw glances at us, and twice more ashamed when they didn’t; ashamed of what we are and what we are not, ashamed of our fathers or mothers, of being too young, too old, too thin, too fat, of being virgins, of no longer being virgins >>> then life passed by >>> we transcended our shame and ended up being proud of ourselves >>> and yet, our pride is just the other side of the same coin: we are still looking at ourselves through the eyes of others >>>
