Content description:
Yolanda Esther Natsch uses the format of the slide show lecture to explain to the audience that Damien Hirst is an artist misunderstood by mainstream art criticism because he must be received within the framework of performance art and not object art. His artworks are in themselves artistically irrelevant because they must be understood as relics and artifacts from his performances, while some of his performances are among the "milestones" in recent art history.

Setting:
In the analog lecture, the performer sits at a lectern with a microphone and the slide show is projected onto a suitable surface next to her. In the online lecture, the performer is shown on the screen first. As soon as the greeting is over, she splits the screen, the audience still hears her voice but only sees the slideshow. During the farewell, the performer can be seen again.

Sequence of the performance:
The performer greets the audience and then reads out a text in which she justifies and substantiates the above claim several times with examples. She accompanies the spoken words with images that visually confirm or reinforce what has been said. By triggering the change of image slides herself, she changes their rhythm and thus achieves a dramatic effect. When the lecture is over, she says goodbye to the audience.
