Checking Boxes by Lukas Bury

In October 2021, the artist collective Lucky 3 presented one of their most remarkable performances during the Sequences Real Time Art Festival. Darren Mark, Dýrfinna Benita Basalan and Melanie Ubaldo silently mopped the floor of the artist-run space OPEN for 8 hours straight, occasionally uttering the Filipino word puti meaning white in English. The moment a white person entered the space, one artist from the trio would mop the floor around them, giving that person the impression of not being welcome.
