    Unterführung zur Schmutzigen Ecke - Gala HBF 2023

    Lèche Vitrines is a continuation of a performance in the public spaces of Paris during the confinement period as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the phrase “lèche vitrines” for “window shopping”, which literally translates to “window licking”, Martina Morger strolls around the streets of Marais, one of the most fashionable and busy districts in Paris, inspects the products on display and licks the separating glass. With the objects of desire being both daily life as well as luxury products, Lèche Vitrines depicts an absurd pursuit for individualism inside a capitalised environment. For the occasion of Ornamenta’s Gala HBF Morger continues the performance in the underpass of the station around the city marketing posters of Pforzheim.
