Not this time though, I felt the shock too. Some people go to Seoul for K-Pop, others go for K-Fashion, Censori went for the kitchen. She \u201cbaked\u201d a cake and went on with her BIO POP show, an <a href=\"https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/2025\/12\/18\/why-everyones-obsessed-with-ngvs-westwood-kawakubo-exhibition\/\">exhibition<\/a> about objectification, domesticity and womanhood.<\/p>\n<p>Her performance art show started with her in a full red latex bodysuit, breast structure and the full deal, in an all-metal kitchen that made her look more like a robot than a human, in the best way possible. She was messing around \u201cpreparing\u201d a cake that made its appearance ten minutes into the show. And it\u2019s cloche matched her, red glaze and all. If I didn\u2019t know better, I\u2019d think it was dressed in latex too. After channeling her inner Gordon Ramsay, she glided the cake over the trusty old food cart and walked to the far end of the room, where all the action was.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BIANCA CENSORI BIOPOP (THE ORIGIN, 2025) - LIVESTREAM\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QSIJHmrHYeY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/2025\/12\/17\/pantone-color-of-the-year-2026-call-it-white-it-dares-you\/\">sort of white<\/a> curtain slowly revealed what would be the dining room, showcasing furniture designed by Censori and produced by Ted Lawson, that seemed lifted straight from a medical supply catalog, made of literal medical crutches and beige <a href=\"https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/2025\/11\/09\/the-3-fs-of-winter-faux-fur-forever\/\">fur<\/a>. You think that\u2019s the weird part? Did I mention that women in masks and beige latex bodysuits designed by KidO Shigenari, again, robot-like women that were disturbingly alike Censori, lived inside the furniture in all kinds of weird poses? I didn\u2019t know the human body could move like that\u2026 Bianca left the cake on the table, took a seat and stared at it for about a minute before the curtains closed.<\/p>\n<p>This is where Censori\u2019s seven-part cycle begins, with her last show scheduled for 2032. \u201cDomesticity is the mother of all revolutions, because all others trace back to it\u2026 Positions learned in private are worn in public.\u201d the \u201cSeries 01: The Origin\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/biancacensori.com\/pages\/art\/arts\">statement<\/a> reads. Domesticity is turned upside-down, literally, objectification is made visible, and womanhood is explored through uncanny forms, we\u2019re talking about West\u2019s wife after all. It\u2019s part art, part nightmare.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_134471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-134471\" style=\"width: 264px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-134471 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Screenshot from Bianca Censori&#039;s Instagram post\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-264x300.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-264x300.jpeg 264w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-900x1024.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-768x874.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-369x420.jpeg 369w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-696x792.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2-1068x1215.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/ourculturemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Censori-2.jpeg 1170w\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-134471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bianca Censori via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/article\/69311\/1\/bianca-censoris-bio-pop-objectification-domesticity-seoul-korea-interview-2025\">Dazed<\/a> asked Censori \u201cWhy did you choose the kitchen as the origin point for this exploration of womanhood?\u201d She responded, \u201cBecause it\u2019s where care, labour and expectation intersect first.\u201d Dazed continued, \u201cThe contortionists were wearing masks. And all of the bodysuits (including yours) had a plastic shine to them. Could you tell me about the intention behind the materials?\u201d, she explained, \u201cThey remove specificity. They turn the body into a surface people can mirror themselves, if they choose to.\u201d And the last question that managed to poke its way into my brain was, \u201cYou were wearing red, with a red cloche covering your plate. Why this colour?\u201d Bianca simply said, \u201cRed signals offering, exposure and consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the show, all that was left was a cake and the uncomfortable realization that objectification can look eerily domestic.
