Performance Art

The possibility of my performance is in its effects of time and space, in the temporality of presence. Western culture has sublimated itself in science, but the performance reduces to science its corporeality. What is brilliantly visible or transparent, is returning to the politics of the identity. The performance works in the field of a disturbance of the science's logic. The dynamics, produced in the performance, gives back to the body its secret as the subject, who displays feelings. 
My performance sets time and space free. The performance as the female optimistic life style acts as the opposite of the static idea of art. The performance is without a absolute fixed point. As a nonlinear system it is in the interaction between the artist and an audience. The relationship is complex. 
The way to disentangle the formal language is part of my work. The natural measurements of our culture have exploded in the tasks of desire, benefit and energy. My optimistic mathematics returns the symbols of food, love and sexuality. What does Irma Optimist look like and what she is doing are the things, which are as true as herself.

Performance Art

Posibilităţile spectacolului meu de performance constă în efectul temporal şi spaţial, în temporalitatea prezenţelor. Cultura occidentală s-a autosublimat în ştiinţă, dar performance-ul îşi reduce la nivel de ştiinţă propriul trup. Ceea ce este o reîntoarcere la politica identităţii, vizibile sau bănuite. Performance-ul funcţionează într-un spaţiu care disturbă logica ştiinţei. Dinamica realizată cu ajutorul performance-ului redă corpului propriul secret, aidoma individului care îşi manifestă sentimentele. 
Performance-ul meu eliberează spaţiul şi timpul. Performance-ul funcţionează ca mod de viaţă feminin optimist, în calitate de contrast al concepţiei statice despre artă. Performance-ul nu are un punct fix absolut. Există ca sistem nonlinear, în relaţia dintre artist şi publicul lui. Relaţia este complexă. 
Modalitatea de a dezlega limba formală constituie o parte a muncii mele. Parametrii naturali ai culturii au explodat în realizarea sarcinilor legate de dorinţe, profit şi energie. Matematica mea optimistă readuce simbolurile hranei, iubirii şi sexului. Aşa cum Irma Optimist arată, şi prin ceea ce face, sunt lucruri atât de adevărate, ca ea însăşi.

Performansz művészet

Performanszom lehetősége idő és térbeli hatásában áll, a jelenlétek időbeniségében. A nyugati kultúra tudománnyá szublimálta önmagát, de a performansz saját testiségét redukálja tudománnyá. Ami látható vagy sejthető, az visszatérés az önazonosság politikájához. A performansz egy, a tudomány logikáját zavaró térben működik. A performansz által megvalósított dinamika visszaadja a testnek saját titkát, mint az egyén, mikor érzéseit kimutatja. 
Az én performanszom szabaddá teszi a teret és az időt. A performansz optimista női életmódként, a statikus művészetfelfogás ellentéteként működik. A performansznak nincs egy abszolút fix pontja. Nonlineáris rendszerként a művész és hallgatósága közötti kölcsönhatásban létezik. A kapcsolat bonyolult. 
A formális nyelv feloldozásának módja része a munkámnak. Kultúránk természetes mértékei szétrobbantak a vágy, a haszon és energia feladatának teljesítéséban. Optimista matematikám visszahozza az étel, a szerelem és a szex szimbólumait. Ahogyan Optimista Irma kinéz, és amiket csinál, azok olyan igaz dolgok, mint ő maga.
