Agenda
2022. Edited by Pernod Ricard Foundation, Paris.
Engraved metal coin, Ø 2.7 cm, 1000 copies
>>> Agenda proposes the rule of an everyday game: “Flip the coin everyday”. It consists of flipping a coin each morning to decide whether our day will be off or on, thus allowing chance to redefine our relationship to time and productivity.
On one side, the inscription MONDAY, followed by WORK TODAY, urges us to work. On the other side, SUNDAY, followed by DO NOT WORK TODAY, calls for free time. The week thus redefined by chance becomes dynamic.

Elsa Werth, Soon Cooked Beer 2060 +2°, 2022

+

SOON COOKED BEER • 2060 : + 2°
2022. Beer commissioned by Multiple Art Days x Demory Paris
This project addresses, in a humorous and subversion manner, the urgent issue of global warming by creating this unique beer whose alcohol content has been boosted by +2° in relation to the initial recipe. In this way, she establishes a connection between the increase in its alcohol level and the increase of the Earth’s temperature +2° Celsius predicted by climatologists for the year 2060.
The beer’s name is a play on words: "SOON COOKED" refers to the idea of being “cooked” in the sense of “drunk” or “intoxicated,” but also more literally, being cooked in the increasing heat around the planet. "SOON COOKED BEER • 2060 : + 2°," will therefore get us drunk much too quickly, as the constant pressure and collective hysteria in contemporary society leads us to avoid confronting the catastrophe that is unfolding before our eyes.
