Six women tackle the neoliberalist cult of the body with all their performative brilliance and vicious physical virtuosity. Apollon by Florentina Holzinger, limbos between the aesthetics of an occult fitness-studio, a cyborg-bullfight and neoclassical ballet.
Florentina Holzinger combines fin de siècle freakshow and 1960s live art, offering a new perspective on the rupture between high art and entertainment culture. Through this humorous and furious destruction of a classical narrative, Holzinger addresses the myth of this supposedly perfect woman, the artist herself. These perfect women – what do they even want?
