How To Become A Conspirator (CFG)

Valeria Montti is a Stockholm based artist who travels in her own urban, psychedelic mythological world, that is a colourful and hybrid mix of cultures, found objects, public performances and visual languages. She calls herself a Junkwoman collector of things. She scours the cities for lost and discvarded objects that she appropriates to make something new, giving the objects she finds a new live in new contexts.

With her art she wants people to reflect about the way we are living; about our patterns of materialism, and consumption that governs the way most of us live our lives. This generally accepted model of production, she believes, is contributing to the growing global environmental problems we have today.
The footage used in the CFG video is from her project Jokerita, a video piece filmed in the streets of New York, that illustrates the feeling of being rootless. Jokerita is looking for a place that is home. She is an outsider and a sacred clown that manifests the challenges of everyday in a backwards language and actions.

Valeria Montti has exhibited her work at places such as the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm, the Phoenix House of Sweden in Washington DC-09, and Botkyrka Konsthall
