Déprivatisation – 2013

2013, performance de 9h réalisée devant le musée de l’Alimentarium (Nestlé) à Vevey.

608 bouteilles d’eau minérale Vittel (Nestlé Waters) vidées une à une dans le lac Léman.

« In another non-jewelry project, Deprivatisation, Nicolas stands for nine hours by Lake Geneva in Vevey—his hometown and home to Nestlé—emptying bottles of water back into the lake, returning over the course of the performance the amount equal to one person’s yearly consumption, calculated at two liters per day for 365 days. Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, former Chairman of the Board and CEO of Nestlé, once stated that considering water a “public right” (that is, the right of every human being) is extreme. Well, let’s return water to where it came from. You are dust, and to dust you shall return, dear Peter! » Elena Karpilova
