MARKET-EXERCISE AT ESITYSTELTTA ON 26.8. (PERFORMANCE TENT)
Everyone goes to the store, everyone buys, consumes, and encounters consumption in various
environments. Market is a hyper mundane dive into the experiences of consumption on a
micro-level.
The presentation consists of simple collaborative physical exercises and the Market space that we create based on these exercises. In this way, Market provides a visitation in shopping, without the actual commercial environment, thus inviting you to experience everyday activities in a new way.
