Female Christ Candle
In 1969, a naked woman carrying a cross walked through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The performance act went under the name 'Female Christ'. The social revolution and constant transgression of boundaries in the late 1960s led to artists' expressions taking new directions. Some artists opposed the dominant values and behaviours of society by using performance art. However, this also means that significant voices and parts of art history from this time period risk fading as they only exist as photographic or filmed records. The fragrance Female Christ ensures that the memory of the art performance created and carried out by the artists Lene Adler Petersen and Bjørn Nørgaard at the Copenhagen Stock Exchange will live on forever.
The scent is earthy and woody with integrity.
