The video performance N°8001 was recorded in April 2020 in Zurich’s most luxurious shopping street “Bahnhofstrasse”. The clothing stores which are shut down due to the Covid-19 governmental measures serve as background for the artist’s action. The artist is wearing a school uniform which indicates the involuntary time off school and refers furthermore to a collective pressure of identifying with certain trends and brands to signify social affiliation. Another illustration of such a search of belonging consists in the artist’s attempt to take possession of a necklace literally through the shop window. The semi transparent projection surface is framed with a satin ribbon on which the work’s title is continuously imprinted: N°8001 which stands for the zip code of where the action took place and refers to a smell becoming perfume.
