Theoretical background:

A nod to Manzoni and his merda d’arstista, this performance is also a humorous reflection on the status and the destiny of the artist in contemporary art, around the song L’opportuniste by Jacques Dutronc.

Description:

First, I sing the song “L’opportuniste” a capella using a microphone. I am wearing a T-shirt with ART written on the front and MONEY on the back. At the end of the song, I turn my shirt around (wearing the word MONEY in front). Then I use the cap that I’m wearing to go beg in the audience.
