CIBELLE!!!! This Brazilian goddess is so yummy! I feel spiritually connected to her. She has such life and vibrancy. I first saw here here with Devendra:
then I got to looking… and saw this beautiful performance. I have no idea what she is saying, but it’s just glorious -
Then I found this interview in English and it just sort of sealed the deal for me

Artur Zmijewski is a radical artist, realising extreme artistic concepts. In his works, in a nearly obsessive manner he thematises the human body perceived in the context of its physicality, its base biological functions. This perspective imposes questions about the relationship between the body, susceptible to illness and decay, and the sphere of human mind and spirit. What the artist finds most interesting, are cases, where heavy bodily dysfunction and severe disease foreclose any possibility of participation in social life and even destroy the mind. At the same time, he admits, those defects create a kind of otherness, seductive and much more telling than anything we consider normal. And this is Zmijewski at his most poignant. http://www.culture.pl/en/culture/artykuly/os_zmijewski_artur
I was able to view this video in New York (After Nature), and I felt very touched by it. This video of a performance was actually more powerful than a live performance that was happening on the same floor of the exhibit.
