DON’T YOU WANT ME BABY?

This was an installation I made at the City Hall of Reykjavik with a dancing plant. The sad plant danced around cleaning the floors of the City Hall to melancholic love songs from the 80´s. It was running on a robot vacuum cleaner, which has sensors to decipher where dirt has gathered in the public space. This desperate housewife, public servant extraordinaire felt unappreciated for all its work and loving care. Although most people found the plants strange movements and shifts funny, most people sensed the bitter sorrow that it emitted that the songs underlined.
