In 1960 Yves Klein created a series called \u201cAnthropometry\u201d; for the artworks models covered themselves in paint and dragged each other on the canvases that were laid on the floor, while Yves Klein and a few other men watched \u201cthe performance\u201d. None of the models were paid for their job, while Yves Klein became a sensation.<\/p>\n<p>The installation mocks the art elite and questions as to who the actual creator of the art is: the model covered in paint or the artist. The artist covers herself fully in paint, while dancing on the canvas, using her body as the brushes.<\/p>\n<p>The mistreatment and misuse of the models in contemporary arts need to change: they deserve to be paid for their labour and to be recognised as the important influence of the artwork.<\/p>\n<p>The performance and the final art result were presented at the Beta Space in Espoo Finland, during contemporary artists group exhibition, Vitamin D, from 3 to 11 of March 2020.
