00:00I have created this work equals satire where I have cut
00:29a very potent figure into something very feminine and created a feminine force and it's to spread
00:40with humor and discussion around equality.
00:58No doubt that the price itself is extremely high and it's also kind of ridiculous.
01:04I think everyone can see that and it's not worth paying that much amount for a banana.
01:10But when you have taken that discussion then I hope next level will be that you will start
01:14to consider it what the artist herself wants to tell with this piece of art.
01:21What are you going to do?
01:26I'm going to see myself.
01:32Me and the gallerist have set the price to 10% of the original price of the banana with
01:59the duct tape on the wall, a very famous piece and the 10% come from the big auction houses,
02:07Sotheby and Christie's and so, it's still only 10% of the turnover that goes to female artists.
02:14So, it's also a way to open that discussion of equality.
02:21In practice it means I will be the biggest importer of bananas in Copenhagen because I will have
02:34to renew this piece of art or some of my employees will renew this piece of art every day.
02:40So, they will take a banana, they will cut it and they will hang it up on the wall and
02:45we will throw the old banana away if we don't eat it.
02:49I came across this art piece on Instagram quite randomly actually and then I wanted to see
02:55it in real life and it was here at the art fair in Copenhagen.
02:59And then when I came here looking at it, it just provoked me in a good way.
03:06I mean, for me as a female having the shape of a vulva, I mean, it's crazy isn't it?
03:13It's just, I love it.
03:16Well, it's a pleasure being here seeing all this beautiful art and actually we were just
03:22talking with my friend about this piece right here and the interesting duality between,
03:27you know, having a penis shaped fruit that represents a vagina.
03:33I thought that was very interesting.
