ANTONIO & RICCARDO
Antonio Branco & Riccardo T. are a performance art duo based in London, originally from Portugal and Italy respectively. Their work is about the body and its presentation. About its physicality, aura, psyche, and identity. The body is their first and ultimate instrument, raw material and site for performance. With their work Antonio and Riccardo aim to get people to reconnect with the forgotten freedoms of their bodies and minds. By drawing from their own experiences their work primarily focuses on the queer body, the energy inherent to such a presence and its social implications. Their research then branches out into related themes of contemporary sexuality, gender norms, porn consumption, and fetishisation.
