Alicja Żebrowska
Exertising
Exertising documents Alicja Żebrowska’s performance, staged in 2004 as part of the 10th City of Women Festival in Ljubljana. In order to play the role of Super Dustcard Diva, the artist took a job for one day at the Ljubljana Municipal Company SNAGA. During the performance, she walks around the city in a diva costume, does cleaning work, recites sanitary reports, performs
magnet therapy and biostimulation treatments with an infrared lamp, creates an urban sculpture from waste, and takes part in a photo session at the largest municipal landfill. The film and the performance itself confront art with everyday social practices.
