Performance/action for the camera
"Above all the treetops", in a snowy landscape in the middle of the high Alps, I change my clothes in front of the camera. A sweet melody plays. I put on an intricate pleated dress, which I have glued together from pink colored tissue paper - in it I look like a mixture of lantern and wedding candy. This skirt can be unfolded into an enormous volume - which looks like a male peacock fanning out his feathers. I place myself in the middle of the picture, smile coquettishly at the camera and flick my finger - like the blissful Gini from the bottle. Suddenly I find myself in my untidy studio, trying out ideas: I do "the flower", I do "the aviatrix", "the animal" and the "I". In between, we always return to the clean snowy landscape. Finally, I flick myself away.
