Chakra Gang Bang (2018)
Chakra Gang Bang—a durational performative installation imagined and created to occupy the 7 nuclear shelters of Arsenic—stages 7 contemporary situations imagined according to the Eastern chakra system, an ancestral system of specific energy centres situated along the spine. Authentic Boys draws inspiration from their theoretical essence in order to transpose them into contemporary Western marketing signs. If they were slogans, they would name them thus: security, porn, workout, coaching, communication, leadership and immortality.
