The privatization of public space is a constant issue in our society. Forests, lakes and places go into the care of private property. Walking, swimming or strolling in these places is hardly possible anymore. But there are also private rooms who are open to the public, installed to serve consumption.

The shopping center: reality of life for entire social groups, tolerated with all accompanying phenomena, provided if the turnover is guranteed.

The heteronyms of the Polish artists Slashnieszka, Trashnieszka, Flashnieszka and Mashnieszka go into this seam.
The artists use shopping malls to get inspiration and be creative on site. The mall becomes a muse.
Live painting is staged on top of the easels.
The reactions are usually different. Center managers, store owners and visitors involuntarily interact with the unfamiliar situation and thus become part and momentum of the sessions.
