Abstract
COMMODI-FICTION
A six-months-long solo show by Parvez; marked with Live Art Interventions and Performances that ran from April 10 to October 2, 2021 at Museum 1 in Luzern.

Each Performance / Intervention/ Live Art work, while complete in itself, added to the previous ones and evolved the narrative further each time, making it a long-duration-performance with many performances and acts within it. It had a strong focus on generating encounters and creating possibilities for active participation by the visitors.

The title of the show stems from the concept of ‘fictitious commodities’ that the economic historian and thinker, Karl Polanyi conceived, vis-à-vis the commodification of land, human labor and currency, in his work ‘The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time’. The artist expands upon these ideas, plays with the workings of a market-based- economy and also explores its connection with (neo)colonialism – the continuation of colonial subjugation and exploitation through economic, political, cultural, and/or other tools.

The uniqueness of MUSEUM 1 - a space without walls, doors, barriers and security both challenged and pushed the artist to create this Live Art work.
