    Happier than a Seagull with a French Fry

    • Locatie: Hotel Maria Kapel, Hoorn
    • What is the connection between rollerblading and modernism? Or the link between paddle pools and capitalism? Between tanning and productivity? In her ongoing work Labor Series Priscila Fernandes humorously explores the relationships between leisure, work and abstract art. In a series of staged situations, the artist uses her body as a tool to create large scale photographs that build correlations between play, idleness, abstract art and hard work.
