Drop Dead Gorgeous
2017
Performance, 5’30”
performed at Femfest at Tanner Street, London
“The tanning process of cheap leather includes human casualties and environmental destruction. In the rat race of capitalism and consumerism, the crimes done by the tanneries go unpunished and form a layer of modern slavery. Chromium is only one of the toxic chemicals that deteriorate the bodies of workers in the factories, but it is definitely the most beautiful; the bright turquoise liquid paints a visual poetry on human suffering and on the altar of fashion, aesthetics is what counts.”
