Artbrunch extended – Actionism on Water

Rixardtattoo merges tattooing and performance, exploring the concept of the abject and the interplay between attraction and repulsion. Since 2019, his work has challenged conventions by tattooing outdoors, using unusual objects, and adding obstacles, always with irony and humor.

He does not follow pre-established boundaries; his goal is to provoke reactions and question traditional tattooing. For him, the process is essential, while the result remains as a record on the skin, accompanied by photos and videos.

Trigger warning: Tattoo performance
This event includes an experimental tattoo performance by a controversial
artist. Intense physical reactions such as pain and bleeding may occur. Please note that the performance is deliberately designed in a provocative way to push boundaries and may be emotionally or psychologically distressing for some participants.
Please note that this event is not suitable for all audience members, especially for people who are sensitive to pain, blood or experimental art. Participants are asked to make a conscious decision as to whether they wish to attend. It is recommended that they inform themselves beforehand and seek medical advice
if there are any concerns. The safety of participants is taken seriously, but participation is at your own risk!

If we openly share our desires, what will happen? And what will happen if we start to fulfill them, on stage, in the audience? How would their confession change the very moment and the social setting we’re part of NOW, among friends, strangers, comrades?
