plant
With her temporary installations and actions, Lotty Rosenfeld intervenes in public space by creating irritations for the public or the regulatory authorities with changes, additions or additions to the white road markings . She applies her marker strips to the road surface with white acrylic paint or adhesive tape and documents her action and the subsequent reaction of the audience through film recordings . “A small, precise intervention is all it takes and all of a sudden everyday perception is no longer familiar. A line can be a weapon. "(Inka Gressel)
Actions
Her first intervention took place in 1979 on an important thoroughfare in her hometown of Santiago de Chile. In this action Una Milla de Cruces sobre el Pavimento (A mile of crosses on the asphalt), she alienated the marking strips of the road and added cross lines to make crosses , an eminently political one in what was then Chile , which was ruled by a military regime under Augusto Pinochet Action. Months later, Rosenfeld publicly showed the film recordings of this intervention in the same place on a large projection surface and also recorded this event.
She repeated this action in 1983 in Berlin and 1989 in Chile. She was represented with two works at the documenta 12 in Kassel : with an action in the public street space, but the city cleaning office in Kassel reacted predictably and removed the irritating, stuck-on white horizontal lines even before Documenta 12 opened. She justified this with the traffic hazard presented by the changed lane markings. On the other hand with a video presentation: Her 1979 film Milla de Cruces sobre el Pavimento (5:15 min.) From the action of the same name was shown.
