Cecile Belmont & Natalia Torales
Schaufenster

For the project “Schaufenster” we installed ourselves inside a shop window wearing clothes depicting images of daily desires. We executed some simple actions inspired from the waiting time. “We are looking for a permanent Job,” was written on the glass of the shop window. With this we refer to the precarious situation of the independent artist and to the question of how much an artist has to turn into a product to make a living. As women and artists, we were turned into a commercial product, exhibited as curiosities trying to catch attention. By transposing the place of representation to the street, we offered a free and amazing show. The reactions of the people were enthusiastic, surprised, shy or falsely indifferent.
