‘Bui Cong Khanh first performed Stamp on Me at Blue Space, Ho Chi Minh City, and subsequently in Japan and Singapore, among others. Khanh uses his body as a physical and metaphorical field for audience choice as viewers stamp his torso, ‘yes’, or ‘no’, mimicking bureaucratic power impacting lives. Over time, stamping may become forceful, the action revealing audiences easy slippage into abuse of power.’
Power, Politics and The Street
