CLOWN

Cold days of the Clown, video, part of Air Conditions series of online exhibitions, Galerija Gallery, 2021

The Clown is an old alter-ego that reappeared just over a year ago, altough it has been lurking behind the scenes, in videos, paintings and drawings since many years. Something about the world and my life brought it back, more current than ever before.

Just before the Joker came to the movie theaters, I found my own inner Joker again and started sewing his coat. This coat, my first sewing creation, built over hours of experimentation, of trial and error, imperfect, magnificent, my own.

This character, a bit crazy, wild, perverse, but also strong, is a figure of and for self-acceptance. I love playing with my scary Clown, dancing with it, singing with it, sharing it with others, with the world: here I am, in all my crazy glory, take me as I am and follow me.
