One of the most recent ones was called "Fire Piss / Immortality". In this performance Roman Ass first poured 10 liters of piss on himself shouting things like, "for the motherland", "for Stalin", "for demobilization", and tried to set himself to fire with matches. When he realized that piss didn't burn, he started shouting "bitch, doesn't burn", and smeared his own shit all over his face shouting "art is dead, art is shit" and so on.
Roman Ass also does very interesting visual art, which is reminiscent of the early 90s work of the Moscow new wave meets Viennese Actionists.
