“Immortal objects for a dead artist” (working title) performance
In a modern art museum, an artist falls into a coma after seeing a masterpiece on display vandalized. We follow his comatose dreams in which he variously turns into an artefact, an artistic offering or an artistic masterpiece. He thus becomes an instrument for deconstructing, criticising and questioning the role of the museum.
