Description : Striptease or not? is an absurd striptease performance. As Andrea Bord?cs, a Hungarian art critic states: “This genre is normally reserved for the semidarkness of stuffy night clubs, and the gradual stripping act meant to arouse desire. N?meth’s act is public: she does the thing in broad daylight against a backdrop of rushing cars on a bridge over the Danube. She takes her sexy red bra off and puts it back on, but all this she does beneath her striped t-shirt. The stripping act, or rather a parody of it, actually occurs; this may make things more mysterious, even if the body remains invisible, and the very essence, the arousal of desire, does not take place in this wholly asexual setting.” The performance refers to the new and flourishing post-socialist phenomenon of roadside prostitution as well.
