Rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West has publicly praised his wife, Bianca Censori, following her debut performance art piece in Seoul, South Korea, an exhibition many online have labelled as "bizarre" and "scary."
West's Public Show of Support
On Tuesday, December 30, the 48-year-old artist took to his Instagram to share images from Censori's provocative show. Kanye West captioned the post, "So proud of my wife," sparking a flood of comments from followers who expressed confusion and concern over the nature of the art. The public endorsement comes amidst ongoing rumours about the dynamics of their relationship, with speculation that West exerts significant control over Censori's life and choices.
Details of the Controversial BIO POP Exhibition
The performance, titled BIO POP, was staged in Seoul on December 11. According to reports from AD Middle East, the 30-year-old Australian architectural designer "presented a series of tables, chairs and sculptural objects in which the female body contorts itself." The outlet described the work as staging domestic rituals, turning furniture into a language of obedience and control.
Censori herself performed for 11 minutes, wearing a red latex catsuit. Her act involved miming baking a cake and wheeling it to a table where other female performers were positioned as pieces of furniture. On her website, the artist explained the concept, stating, "The home molds the body, the spirit, and its roles."
Backlash and 'Coded Cry for Help' Interpretation
The exhibition has not been without significant backlash. Several critics and observers have interpreted the art as a disturbing reflection of Censori's personal experiences. Some have called the show a "coded cry for help," pointing to the continuous rumours about West's influence over her diet and fashion.
A source close to the exhibition told RadarOnline.com, "The contorted figures and their integration into domestic furniture suggest something darker." They added, "It's as if Bianca is projecting a coded message about her own experiences — about being constrained, observed, or controlled." While Kanye West's post shows public support, the art continues to fuel intense debate about its meaning and the couple's highly scrutinised private life.
