Public restroom in Rejmyre, 2019
Harrie Liveart’s work is part of the three-year long artistic research project “DeTox – Clean it up!”, in which Rejmyre Art Lab invited a group of artists to work based on the situation of 200 years of pollution behind Reijmyre Glassworks. The work consists of two videos displayed in a public restroom in Rejmyre.
