In Berlin, Bulgarian artist Voin de Voin is known as some sort of performance shaman, who asserts such powers over his audience that people will do whatever he asks of them. Performance is a vital part of his artistic practice if only to serve as an experimental ground. His work oscillates between total openness and specific definition, which shows in his passion for collecting imagery from all kinds of image sources and the way he deals with it. Often, he literally puts himself in the picture, but not to make the art center around his persona, but on the contrary to reveal the astounding multiplicity of perspectives everybody can take on each image that has ever come into this world.
