Alicja Rogalska — Pretend You’ve Got No money
- intervention dans l'espace public
Audio performance to listen to with headphones in your local supermarket.
The sound piece was available from 15 September to 15 October 2022
Designed to disrupt our everyday shopping habits, the tour invites you to have a different kind of relationship with your local supermarket, treating it as a ready-made stage set for a meandering, playful and slightly choreographed narrative about the politics of food production, distribution and consumption. Topics include Bourdieu's theory of class distinction, bread riots, the political neurology of disgust, the Great Irish Famine, the role of bananas in the Colombian Civil War, migrant farm labour, automation, climate change cultures, the psychology of shopping habits and Mussolini's pasta blockade.
Alicja Rogalska
Alicja Rogalska is an interdisciplinary artist of Polish origin based in London and Berlin and trained in Warsaw and London. She is the daughter of peasants. She works mainly in specific contexts, creating situations: performances, marches and installations in collaboration with others (folk singers from the Hungarian, Polish and Indonesian countryside, scriptwriters for Live Action Role Playing). Together, they seek emancipatory ideas for the future. Alicja focuses on the social structures and political subtext of everyday life.
