Joaquin Segura

Joaquin Segura works in performance and installation to push the limits of what is allowed and permitted in the name of art. An example of this is the video Someone Else’s Doc Martins, in which the artist stops a stranger in the street and steals his shoes. Similarly, in Hangover, he drunkenly smashes his empty wine bottle over the head of the first passerby. Part agent provocateur, part urban anthropologist, Segura challenges boundaries in an effort to define them.
