Geisha performance
Fazer café, Kluuvinkatu, Helsinki. 2001



The performance in the traditional Fazer café on Kluuvinkatu dealt with the energies of serving and to please other people. The starting point was a chocolate bar, Geisha, made by Fazer. With its pink colour and japanese design it has followed Andersson through his whole life. Andersson wanted to see how to dress like a Geisha, and to concentrate on the action of serving people, would affect him and the customers in the café. His tray was shaped like a fan and covered with water colour paper and during the performance Andersson draw small cottages for the chocolate pieces. Now and then he went serving chocolate pieces to the customers, kneeling in front of them. pictures (4)
