The artists write, “We dam rivers to create electricity. Global
warming is causing confusion in our waters. Could it happen that hydro
power stations will no longer supply us with electricity? What does
the modern upper-class housewife do when electricity is gone?” The
Icelandic Love Corporation artists – Sigrun Hrolfsdóttir, Jóni
Jónsdóttir and Eirun Sigur_ardóttir – take on the roles of three
privileged housewives who have escaped the sweltering heat of their
homes to take a luxury vacation, where they enjoy the last moments of
one of the Earth’s few remaining snowcaps.
