Female Christ – Eau de Parfum – Sample

Johan Bergelin: “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 meant that artists' expressions took new directions. Some artists opposed the dominant values and behavior of society by using performance art: art that exists while in progress. 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. By creating a fragrance with the same name, 19-69 ensures that the memory is immortalized.”

Female Christ Fragrance Journey - The Long Walk

"We went there in a taxi; I was naked underneath my black coat and kept the cross against my stomach... I was amazingly nervous... But suddenly they were in full swing. David stood by the exit, filming, and Bjørn was walking with a tape recorder and with my clothes, and then I started walking. I remember a rope was suddenly blocking my way. I wasn’t expecting that, so that was quite weird, but then I just kept walking with the cross, holding it up high at first and then downwards, the way you hold a yo-yo. Then it was over. And you could have heard a pin drop! Someone shouted “But – you can’t do that!” and “Good Heavens! Look, Sørensen, look!” Then we went out to the taxi waiting outside and drove away.
