No Pants


DSC_1095, originally uploaded by Paradise Gonzalez.

Every 10th of January people all over the world gather to... well, take their pants off. Its a volunteer group that each year is growing. The idea is, you ride in a subway, wait for the specific time and take your pants down. For a couple hours you'll be ridding the subway without pants. There will be a few others doing the same as you can see in the pictures. Why or what for is still a question for me. But it was great to see the expressions on the faces of the regular subway commuters and to enjoy the happiness of the no pants people.

PERFORMA is a biennale of Performance that takes place in New York. Each session brings performance artist from all around the world. From classic to edgy from installations to empty space, from water to stars. All imaginable possibilities. Three weeks of creativity and madness. Wonderful. This year I was assigned to photograph some of the PERFORMA events. Here I share a sample. Take your time for a nice tour through the present performa art.
