\n\tHowever legitimate her background in architecture and jewelry design may be, Bianca Censori is first and foremost known for her distinctive, revealing fashion choices and for being Ye\u2019s\u2014n\u00e9 Kanye West\u2019s\u2014wife and muse. On December 12 and 13, Censori debuted BIO POP (The Origin)<\/em>, the first in what will be a series of seven performance art pieces spread out over the next several years.<\/p>\n \n\tBIO POP<\/em> took place at Layer 41, an event space in Seoul, South Korea, and was attended by over 500 people. Censori\u2019s website has a video recording<\/a> of the austere, unnerving performance. The 14-minute event began with Censori, clad in a maroon bodysuit, preparing something at a sleek kitchen island, the kind you\u2019d find in a high-end apartment. At the 9\u00bd-minute mark, she gets on her knees in front of the oven, removes a red-domed object, places it on a rolling bar cart, and robotically walks toward an inconspicuous white curtain at stage right.<\/p>\n \n\tThe last few minutes of the video reveal a truly creepy set of furniture intertwined with (real life) female contortionists styled to look like Censori dupes, with the same straight black hair and bangs, blank expressions, and skintight bodysuits (though theirs are nude rather than maroon), their bodies twisted to fit within each Censori-designed piece of furniture.<\/p>\n \n\tThe two chairs, two tables, chandelier, and bar car all look like they were made from discarded mobility devices or prosthetics. The stainless steel table and chair legs resemble the feet of crutches or walkers, with cream-colored Plexiglas and shearling elements for comfort (\u201ccomfort\u201d).<\/p>\n
