“ [...] the work of Katya Ev echoes an « infiltrated performance » that first took place at the Musée Zadkine in Paris in January 2019. For the performance, (Le Plus Objet des Objets), the performers replaced the museum guards, imposing behavioral rules on the visitors. « Building on the usual restrictions within a museum, they pushed the rules to the point absurdity, increasing the intensity of their comments and creating a physical sense of control, » the artist explained, referencing the non-necessity of rules and their powerful transparency, implemented by structures that are no longer able to question them. Heiress to institutional critique, the gesture of performance is thus a way to elude disciplinary devices and question the exercise of power. Léa Bithmuth, critical text for the exhibition Point Zéro, Galerie Chloé Salgado, Paris (Fr), 2019
