This video performance art is a reaction to the lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a study related to the question “what is normality?” and “who is normal?” This video mirrors a society that deifies its ignorance; a world that is sitting on a throne made of rubbish. This artwork questions social values and human relations. Conceived and created by Emmanouela Vogiatzaki Krukowski, performed by Pavlos Krukowski.
