Norma Jeane created an interactive installation, which was filled with a block of coloured tri-tone plastecine. The piece of work was named #Jan25 (#Sidibouzid, #Feb12, #Feb14, #Feb17… (2011). This was taken from popular twitter hash tags, which was used in relation to the mutinies going on in the area at that certain time of disagreements. The work was made to reference the recent Egyptian political unrest, and to remind people that sometimes they have the power to cooperatively form and guide their governmental surroundings. Norma Jeane’s work was the most interactive and captivating the publics’ attention.
Jeane is an anonymous artist or group of artists engrossed in dissolving the authority of the individual artist. The piece began as a tri-tone representing the Egyptian flag 3D block of plasticine positioned in the centre of a plain white box room in the Central Pavilion. Throughout the course of the Biennale, visitors were allowed to take apart the block and create something far from what it started out to be, they were also allowed to take some of the plastecine from the exhibition, which is not usually a regular occurrence. It was very lively and playful work that brought together all generations and creeds. Four months after the public opening, the 3D flag had been reduced to heaps of distorted clumps, with every inch of the walls covered in graffiti.
