Exhibitions, Italy, Caserta , Caserta, 24 July 2010
On an aseptically table exposed the reliquary. The original props are from the artist of performance art Franko B, Ron Athey, Cuco Suarez, Hermann Niesch, Annie Sprinkle.
In the Middle Ages with the Latin phrase "ex corpore" shows the relics belonged to the flesh of the saints.

The realization of this work is the result of intense research.
I participated in numerous international festivals on performance art and meeting other artists of the Action art,and i relics recovered the relics from the live action. The "EX CORPORE" consists of a sculpture created this year, with the materials of the props from the artists who have made the history of performance art. It 's a very broad search that led me to make several trips between Europe and the United States live in countries where the art is widespread. Each relic goes to make up my alter-ego, a sculpture specially built without facial features, an ear instead of the vagina and Videos recovery fetishes, meeting with artists and performance art that I have developed over the years. The project is in continuous evolution and integration between traditional art and performance art. Each piece is unique.


Unconsciously artists that I have donated memorabilia have contributed to the sculpture.

I take one by one the precious relics, to compose my sculpture.

Maintain the habit of wearing my alter ego:
The wig-performance by the original "Self Obliteration" Ron Athey.
-A handkerchief soaked in blood by a performance by Hermann Nitsch - (private collection of Mark Fioramanti)
The hoof-Cuco Suarez from her performance "Las Noticias if Escribe con el sangre"
-The necklace of pearls used during the "Blue Wedding" by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens
Franko B-needles Bleeding from his kit, original work made from the set of tools utilized by physicians to bleed during his performance "I Miss You"

I take a jar of blood, which I filled by performing blood sampling during the month, which I proceeded to keep anticoagulated with laparina is the common thread uniting the various components: the mingling of brilliant color and toward the dummy , baptized only work. The floor and walls are white and red splashes on the floor and the wall are part of the work.

I sit near my alter-ego:
They are completely white, I have long blonde hair. We are like unbelievably.

The rite of merging with my performance art is finished.

According to Martin:
In Ethnology defines fetishism as a form of primitive religion that provides for the worship of fetishes, or objects deemed to have magical powers, while Freud speaks of sexual fetishism. If psychoanalys is a fetish is an attempt to establish a privileged relationship with the mother image, the fetish through Kyrahm creates a real connection with other artists. The religious reference is therefore inevitable: the icon of the Holy Shroud for example, or the legendary search for the Holy Grail: the objects worshiped lead the artist to make very long trips, explore places reaching, performing, collaborating and weaves relationships with other artists she meets, transforms them memorabilia captures first in relics and then sculpture. The performance began in earnest from the road. "
