WAYS TO
a collaboration of Zohra Mrad & Jana Kaulmann
on reframing our experience of pain, through the art of tattooing
" As part of their residency at Casino Display, artist Zohra Mrad presents a series of events reflecting their conceptual approach to artistic practice.
This first session, developed in collaboration with Luxembourg multidisciplinary and tattoo artist Jana Kaulmann, takes the form of a listening session based on a filmed performance in which the artists tattoo one another.WAYS TO /session1 unfolds from this recorded moment.
Alongside sound fragments from the film, visual elements from the performance are shared with the audience. Building on this material, Jana Kaulmann opens a conversation around the motivations behind tattooing, inviting participants to reflect on and share their own experiences.
The first session engages with the ritualistic dimension of tattooing, the intention behind what one chooses to mark on one’s body, the flow state it can induce, and the way it creates a space to consciously encounter and reframe the experience of pain within the body. " Filipa Lima
