    Are You Happy? | 2012

The installation "Are You Happy?" deals with a question of consumerism and fast and empty self-satisfaction from a mass of products, experiences, travelling etc. A figure in sexy clothes is standing in front of the board with her back to the audience. The inscription on the board "Are you happy?" evokes a birthday slogan. Colourful balloons and ornaments signalize the celebration. The beginning of the song Happy Birthday to you starts playing but the song is edited so we can only hear Happy you in a kind of question. As the musical sequence is repeated again and again, the model is turning her face to the audience and at that moment we can see a figure holding a loaf of bread with candles and a mutilated face sticking above them.
