Bag Lady performance 2008
Bag Lady is based on a week-long intervention in a shopping mall in Berlin, where the artist went shopping carrying a lot of cash in a transparent plastic bag. Behaving like a perfect customer while doing something totally wrong, Bag Lady is both a security threat and a subject of protection. Existing in both roles but fitting in neither of them she challenges the pleasant and secure shopping atmosphere of the mall, especially the people responsible for maintaining it. This slight intervention sheds controversial light on the fragility of the social order, where private property in the form of money or product is such a holy cow, that it is under constant intuitive public control.
