about:

Franko B uses performance and video to illuminate the darker nature of human behaviour and its creative drives. In Mama I Can’t Sing, sadism, perversity and loneliness lead towards total freedom. This is neither therapy nor theatre, but a personal affirmation of drives that are indispensable to the artist.

1996

  • ICA, London

1997

  • Voltaira, Italy

2000

  • Malmo, Sweden
