John Bock uses accessories from fairs for his performances. The puppets he uses, the combination of ballet-music-hall and his spaces are in line with the Cabaret Voltaire or the Merzbau of Schwitters...For this exhibit John Bock created a specific project around the work done in 2004 for the Frac, Thee Diagram Man Metts Loveelasticity, HQ, London, 2001, an installation combining video, sculpture and performance.
