A doomed Experiment: How to Happily Survive Christmas as an Immigrant
Performence, Social experiments, 2022, Christmas, Berlin
In 2022, I tried very hard to have a good Christmas that was not lonely.
I extended a sincere invitation. I tried different possibilities.
In the end, I went to the social help centre Kalthilfer to volunteer.
But I didn't have a great time on those two days of 24th, 25th.
The full Open Call
In this Call, I appear simultaneously as an Object advertisement and as a Consumer. In other words, as whore at the same time as the John. This design was based on my understanding of the mechanism of the landscape society and capital world.

Answers to my call
When I tried to use my sex appeal in this context, I failed. BiPocs’ sex appeal is not the same as sex appeal.
Among several friendly suggestions, I chose to volunteer at the Berlin Kältehilfe, where I experienced intersectionality.
I was the only BiPoc worker that day.
While I was working, a man who came to the shelter said to me, "My dream was to have Asian women".
Another man grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
Only when I join the white, I can be a help- provider. When I am out there, I am the target of harassment by the help-needer, because of my BiPoc’s Sex Appeal.
