Hours of Performance

(PERFORMANCE TAKES PLACE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE STAGE)

PROJECT: PERFORMANCE ART I SILENCE I TIME I DEATH

BOOKING: TOURING I METAL SHOWS I EXHIBITIONS I MUSIC VIDEOS FOR BANDS

The Metal Statue stands for hours sometimes for an entire festival day. Dark, silent, present. The body is reduced to function: standing, breathing, enduring. What remains is concentration, pain management, and meditation under extreme conditions. People may pass by, observe briefly or remain for a long time. Noise and Silence exist at the same time. The presence itself is the work. Performance takes now place in close proximity to the stage (In Security Area, Near Stage Barrier).

This art form is deeply connected to death. Death as meditation. Death as Performance. The visual language draws from Archetypes such as the Nazguls, funeral entities, shadows, and faceless beings that you might experienced in a sleep paralysis. It's a symbol of decay, inner emptiness, and peace. The Worship of Death.

Why Statue and Metal:

This Performance teaches Discipline and Self-Control. It's a Transition. It's a Ritual. It's Metal Endurance Art. This Project was banned by the police many times and it doesn't exist in the public anymore. It exists within the extreme metal scene where isolation, and darkness are understood. I created The Metal Statue to honor Metal and the Scene.

For Safety Reasons: While the Metal Statue performance will run continuously throughout the event, I will take scheduled breaks to ensure both safety and endurance, stepping backstage as needed to recharge and maintain the highest level of performance. These breaks will be well-managed to minimize any disruption, with security staff overseeing the process to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all.

Adding Coordinated Break Scheduling: Performances are structured with balanced work–rest cycles (e.g., 30 minutes performing followed by 30 minutes rest; 60 minutes performing followed by 60 minutes rest).

This Schedule makes it possible to have Hours of Performance and ensures the Artist’s safety.
