What do you feel in a constantly self-optimizing society? What does performance mean to you? In this collection I have dealt with these questions. The different monkey faces express the feelings we have in a performance-oriented society. The monkeys refer to our instincts and natural feelings. They are gold, silver and bronze-coloured to remind us of a medal.
