Greenwashing (Venus in shell)
(2022), performance
Performance of 26 minutes, shown 3 times in the Fall Exhibition Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling 2022 in Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen.
Performance concept: painting oneself green, washing it off and greenwashing a jacket, sitting in a shell tub.
About:
The performance examines the phenomenon of greenwashing, by greenwashing the surface of the body. The work evolves from Mia Kokine's personal experiences of being obligated to wear a green uniform, in a former part time job in a home store, supporting a business that wanted to appear sustainable. The performance takes place in an environment of electronic sound and sea shell sculptures referring to the duplicities and tensions between synthetic and organic elements, as well as referring to the myth of Venus (The Birth of Venus).
The sound is produced by Rumplespanden, Tringuita og Mia Kokine.
