Yoshua Okon - Profile

Okón collaborates with non-actors and people he meets on the streets in order to give them a forum to perform their own dreams and fantasies (which might coincide with the viewers worst nightmares. Within this arrangement, the camera becomes a pretext, a mediator, a shield, and a mirror. As a mirror, for example, it reveals the discomfort of our own reflection as viewers and our credible proximity to what transpires, which implicates us in the artist's many problematic and polemic issues. Thus, Okón's performances-as-portraits (or portraits-as-performances) reveal not only the ethical risks of art for the artist and his collaborators, but also poses a risk to the viewer's subjectivity by making us uncomfortably complicit. Okón's work mirrors our constructed ideas of the world and its inhabitants, our artificially and neatly drawn borders between truth and fiction, reality and artifice, dream and life. In Okón's work, risk is the twin of uncertainty. Gabriela Jauregui (from her text "Pull the Trigger!" in The Aesthetics of Risk, ed. by John Welchman. Zürich: JRP Ringier, 2008)
