’Indigenous, you got talent!’’ is a performance piece whose creation was based on the structure of a trashy TV-show/ talent show/ beauty competition. It challenges the discussion around political correctness, the role of contemporary ‘’political art’’ and its representatives by celebrating the decay of a completely disoriented society. The first installment of the piece was presented as part of the Documena Easter Resurrection performance night at Baggeion Hotel, April 2017 and this is the sequel.
