07: Tanja Silvestrini & Victoria Løvheim / Performance & Public Space


Listen Later

Tanja Silvestrini and Victoria Løvheim invite me into their home in Helsinki, to talk about different kinds of performance art. Tanja show me their homemade animal costumes and explain their plans to let people temporarily adopt them as a pet, and Victoria tell about being a drag queen as a woman. We treat the subject of co-inhabiting urban, public space, and the behavioural patterns we often collectively exhibit when we move around the city on our own, and Tanja tell how they met the Finnish people in public as a bear in a park. We also get the story of how Tanja had some artworks stolen, and we talk about adapting performance practices to pandemic lockdowns.
