Jonah Bokaer is one of those talented, young persons that make you say What? Only 31 and he has this resume? Indeed, he is only 31 and he already presented his works in Guggenheim and PS1 MoMA – New York. He had a good start in dancing – at 18 he was working for Merce Cunningham. So what’s next?
His latest collaboration is with Daniel Arsham. They are preparing a performance show, Occupant, that will be presented in December at Art Basel Miami. Four dancers will dance near Arsham’s objects (they are white and made out of chalk). What is beautiful about this project is the warmness and the ability of mixing two areas, which is a thing both artists do, in such a natural fluid way, without intruding. What is interesting about Johan Bokaer is also the fact that he constantly challenges himself and other artists when they work together. Among others- Isaac Mizrahi, Robert Wilson, Robert Gober, Iri Batsry.

In False Start, in 2008, his body is standing in front of a garage door, which underlines the contrast between the body and the metal. Then what he does is to fold again and again, as if he tries to find a way to use it in this fight with the metal. How can you get through this door? How negotiate with this powerful object? Also, he body takes the time needed to start over again. All this hope is very important in the entire process, because it keeps the body moving. He also used 3D animation, which, once again, makes a statement on how a body mixed with a different medium to create an organic work.

In On Vanishing, the choreographer worked with Lee Ufan, that exhibited at the time at Guggenheim, Marking Infinity. It was his first work where dance met sculpture. Here, the dancers used their body to underline the changes through which it goes. What was impressive is the use of space- there are many dancers that have difficulties in really filling a space and in using its full potential. But On Vanishing seems natural there is a great use of the space. Also, they make music when touching the paper, while they were curled up in it, as they were standing in a fetal position.
