Tattooed Man is conceived and performed by Alyona Tokovenko, with sound by Miša Blahodir. Alyona is assisted in the performance by Daša Anosova.

The idea was heavily influenced by the song ‘Tattoed Man” by Coil, from their album “The Ape of Naples” 2005.

“There's a man lying down

in a grave somewhere

With the same tattoos as me

And I love him, I love him, I love him…

There's a man lying down

in a bed somewhere

With a different set of sex aspects

And I hate him, I hate him, I hate him

I hate him, my eyes…”

The performance is open to the public, and the exhibition will be open and available for viewing.
