Prinz Gholam

by Madeleine Thien

Wolfgang Prinz and Michel Gholam have worked as performance artists in Berlin since 2001. They question how people understand themselves and their bodies through choreographed pieces. The duo has published small booklets about their work over the years. This artist's book brings together documentation of their performances in one collection. Prinz and Gholam challenge audiences to reconsider basic assumptions about identity and physical presence. Their collaborative practice spans two decades of experimental work. The book preserves their artistic investigations for readers who want to understand their approach to performance and the body.
