We got the chance to meet multipack video and performance artist Barbara Kraus in her new performance and live in apartment here in Vienna. I write “multipack” because of her many persona/characters all with different purposes and functionalities. We talked about a character named Johnny for almost an hour. She told us how she sometimes uses him publicly because, he can do things she can’t as Barbara, as a woman.

Here is also a picture of another of her alter egos, but I don’t know her name. Sorry.
