Bianca Censori Made Some Medical Sex-Dungeon Furniture

"a self-portrait in constraint,"

"Positions learned in private are worn in public,"

"Domesticity is the mother of all revolutions, because all others trace back to it."

"The domestic, turned uncanny, becomes the womb of the system - the site where intimacy, confinement, and identity are first inscribed."

Bianca Censori created a furniture collection of tables and chairs presented as Bio Pop, a performance-art piece debuting in Seoul. The pieces function as a self-portrait in constraint and are staged literally: Censori and models made to resemble her wear latex bodysuits by Shigenari Kido and sit inside each piece in restrictive postures. The furniture appears constructed from or heavily inspired by crutches, emphasizing both support and limitation. Censori frames private bodily positions shown in public and links domesticity to revolutionary origins. The 13-minute performance mostly shows Censori baking a cake before a curtain reveals the medical, sex-dungeon-like furniture. Bio Pop is one of seven scheduled performances over the next seven years.
