ICE PODIUM
Year: 2023
Location: „PELENE“ BEAUTY FAIR
DURATION: 8 hours
Performance „Ice Podium“ was shown at the beauty fair „ Pelenė“. A 16-meterice podum was made during the beauty fair. Monika Dirsyte walked on the ice podium for two days eight hours a day without stopping, no break. The artist walked on the ice with high heels. The longer the artist walked on the ice, the harder it was for her do it because the ice was melting. There were many falls on the ice. The main message of this performance is that people slip on the image they have created themselves. The artist wears a silver mirrored dress, which reflects another, that is, the viewer when asking the question, what podium are you walking on ? The performance also criticizes the over-emphasized beauty industry, which for an inadequate sandart of beauty.
