Acceptio corpus alieni is a medical term for denoting a successful proliferation of donor tissue or organ into the body of the host. Performance Acceptio belongs into the opus of intimistic projects, where Tabar contrasts personal, spiritual, metaphysical body of an individual and technical intervention of medicine which reduces the body to the material and a set of functions. In his performance, Tabar with a scalpel makes a three-centimeter-long cut, through the external abdominal wall, in which he inserts a wedding ring. By using surgical accessories he sews back the opening with the inserted ring and so on a physically explicit way doubles the symbolic convention of a union – wedding. After the performance, the ring was surgically removed and the wound was medically endowed.
Acceptio was an opening performance for the 7 Sins / Ljubljana-Moscow exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana.
