It would be nice to do something political (2002 - )
by Norwegian artists, Camilla Martens and Toril Goksoyr

installation and performance (a black man is hired to do washing of the windows)

At the outside of The Nordic Pavilion, you will see on the window display, showing 'two white women, relaxing in a kind of sensual boredom, express the desire to do something important, perhaps something political. The desire never develops into anything more than an outlook, which is polished and cleaned by black people.'

The work is used as the cover of lacanian ink issue.29, the theme, From an Other to the Other.
