her name is marilyn,.. (on our way to Beverly Hills)

In the public performance 'Her name is Marilyn,..' by Katinka Simonse, the artist-designer takes a dead dog dressed in a white dress named Marilyn for a walk in Beverly Hills, L.A.. When asked what she is doing while dragging the animal over the streets, she consequently answers by saying 'Her name is Marilyn'. The performance undoubtably refers to the meaning of the animal within upper (middle) circles, in which much more then a living being, the animal is used as a commodity article: as part of an individuals carefully build image and ego, rather then being acknowledged as a being with own needs and characteristics. The oblivious character of the 'answer' that she provides her public with in this work, relates to the detached, fully commercially appropriated significance of animals in our present society. Simonse performs by her alter-ego 'TINKEBELL.', a lady completely dressed in pink, referring to a completely innocent, sweet, naive girl, inflicting these symbols of friendlyness with acts of a violent nature. It is not only the performance itself that generates a reaction of shock, but especially the lines of text spoken by her alter ego 'TINKEBELL., for not only is the act of walking a dead dressed dog shamelessly executed, within the act itself, this is above all not acknowledged as such.

En prison Tinker Bell !!!!!!!

C'est une meurtière qui tue des animaux et s'amuse à les depecer et les transformé en "art" pour des photos qui sont censé denoncer l'état de commercialisation des animaux de nos jours.

C'est honteux elle prétend défendre l'image de l'animal en l'utilisant de façon barbare,choquantes et TOTALEMENT indigne pour l'animal !!!!

to everyone saying she is cruel because she kills animals: you people who eat meat do NOTHING DIFFERENT. just because you are not all killing the animals yourself does not mean you are innocent, animals are killed FOR YOU in gruesome ways and people have a double standard in which all animals who are cute and cuddly and clean are allowed to live as pets and be treated really well, but those that taste good are tortured and killed and noone cares. tinkebell is just showing you that with her art.

@BeatleSoph finally someone who has internet and can read and does not just look at the hate she gets. i bet 75% of people who "hate" her aren't even vegan, neither vegetarians. i hope more people would understand her and you!! :(

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­RE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cybernella23]

well she could find other million of ways to do art and express the concept. To bring our attention on the fact that animal are cruelly and unjustly killed every day she kills other innocent animals..........Does it make sense?

If I saw this sick bitch she will wish I hadn't! I hope that someone gets to her in a real bad way.. I would happily do time to see this sick woman dead! She deserves nothing but hate mail and a long and agonising death for all the abuse and suffering deaths she has caused to innocent animals.. If she reads this she may brush it off with a wry smile.. But I am not going to be the one in fear of my life looking over my shoulder everyday!

[twbr1991]

She is a crazy, demented bitch! This is not art, this is an extreme display of animal cruelty and murder and this mental case who craves attention must be stopped. I hope she gets what she has coming to her.

@BeatleSoph humans are animals,mammals,and since the world is world,animals eat other animals.
