Iris Smeds (b.-84) works with issues regarding identity as merchandise and art as entertainment. Her projects often take form of video pieces and public performances. It deals with comparing the monetary and spiritual value of art and human kind — and is elaborating with surrealism and poetry as method for idea production.
