Time Circle

Philemon Mukarno — Performance Art In Time Circle, Philemon Mukarno explores spiritual authority, vulnerability, and personal freedom through the naked body. The performance begins with Mukarno entering a transparent bag. As the air is removed, the enclosed body becomes a symbol of oppression and the struggle for autonomy. When the bag is cut open, his escape represents rebirth and liberation. Through nudity, physical endurance, and radical vulnerability, Time Circle challenges shame, external control, and material attachment. The work becomes a powerful statement about survival, truth, and spiritual freedom.
