's work Kyrahm Triptych: Human Installations III II I - - a summary of "The Cycle of Life" - "Sacrifice" - "Obsolescence of Gender" was ranked first place vote online for a heavenly reward and international will fly to New York. The performance will take part in the exhibition to be held in New York from 11 to 13 December 2010.Il heavenly international prize is a competition aimed at promoting contemporary art in the world, which includes the creation of an exhibition, a catalog and the creation of an important network of contacts between artists around the world, curators and galleries.
The work combines in a single performance in my Human Installations, works with a strong emotional impact. Inspired by Jose Saramago, "as all the sons of men the son of Joseph and Mary was born dirt the blood of his mother, suffering in silence." Central to achieving my meeting with the American artist Ron Athey. The extreme body art and Christian iconography, (a real crucifixion with technical suspension and needles used to provoke tears of blood), the transformation from woman to man, the naked bodies and the nuances of gender (women and men biological and trans) have allowed the parallels between human self-determination (the sexual transition) and the divine (the Word made flesh, God became man). The work combines the concepts of queer theory Judith Butler and considerations on Stelarc's body.
"Kyrahm Captain Ahab and Julius are the new frontier body trans-oceanic existence, able to stop and recreate the world, where poetry becomes the sacrifice of human beings who offer themselves (by choice) and suffering (his notwithstanding). (Fioramanti)

The work is the first of the Human Installation. Created by Kyrahm and Julius Kaiser. Talk of FTM transsexuality (from woman to man) Combines body art and queer theory, arguing that gender is really a social construct. A series of naked bodies: women and men are biological and transgender FtM and MtF who have not yet completed the process of sex reassignment: the first trans-born male but he still has the penis reconstructed breast, the second trans-born female has removing the breast but still has the vagina.Julius Kaiser, drag king, in a solemn ritual made the transformation from woman to man on the scene
The definition of "Triptych" is a tribute to Marco Fioramanti, friend and great artist and his work "The knockdown, the Adoration, the offer".

The work merges my Human Installations in a single performance of strong emotional impact. It is inspired by José Saramago: "Like all young men the son of Joseph and Mary was born in his mother’s dirt and blood, in the sticky mucus, suffering in silence". My encounter with the american artist Ron Athey was essencial to the creation of this work. Extreme body art and Christian iconography (here a real crucifixion takes place using body suspension and needles are used to provoke tears of blood), the transition from woman to man, the naked bodies and the nuances of gender (women and men biological and transexual) allows parallels between the human and the devine self determination (the Word becomes flesh, God becames man). The work combines the concepts of Judith Butler’s queer theory and Stelarc's considerations on body. "Kyrahm and Julius are Captain Achab of the new body trans-oceanic frontier of existence, able to stop and recreate the world, where poetry becomes the human sacrifice that yields itself (by choice) and suffers (in spite of it)". (Fioramanti)
