In carnivalesque installations and performance works, Simon Keizer uses historic facts and events to get a new perspective on the human relationship with the body, and between bodies in general. Utilizing thought processes and events from the past as tools to take distance and understand concepts of today, Keizer’s works are ritualistic in nature and can also take the shape of gatherings or collective efforts.

Starting from a culture of laughter, visitors often are invited to partake and become a part of the work. With a strong believe in the healing potential of art, Keizer’s installations, as well as sounds and his audience are used as a script for his improvised performances.
