The video work Silence of Taming depicts the gradual feminization of the male body. Shot in 2005, the film is an intimate video documentation of the preparations and the moment of transformation, moving beyond the existing identity and cultural belonging. The final metamorphosis was based on an in-depth study of Japanese culture and customs, everyday meetings and conversations, and subtle observations of rituals. It depicts the process of the artist’s transformation into a character with a completely different cultural experience. Karmasz always chooses to represent women, performing a visual transgression, deconstructing identity, and examining cultural changes and the fluidity of ethnic borders in the globalized world.
