Wounded Soul is a long durational performance within an installation consisting of seven doors, each connected by a rope that is attached to the artist's body and restricts his freedom of movement. The performance activates the doors so that they appear either open or closed, simultaneously suggesting struggle, discomfort, unease or inner conflict. The work shows the reaction of a soul trapped in confinement and pain. The performance is inspired by Joseph Beuys' installation Hinter dem Knochen wird gezählt - SCHMERZRAUM, in which light is absorbed by a lead space and which confronts the audience with their own fear and vulnerability. At the same time, it thematises the possibility of re-encountering oneself and opening up to the outside world in order to become part of a larger social body. Toloku translates his associations with Beuys' Schmerzraum into his performance installation. The seven doors as a symbol are borrowed from traditional healing rituals that originate from the culture of the Ewe tribes in the Volta region of Ghana. This ritual opens seven energy portals, a sign that leads into the unknown and at the same time becomes a labyrinth. This ritual-artistic practice is also reminiscent of shamanism, rituals and religious iconographies in the artistic practice of Joseph Beuys.
