This work is the result of adapting ‘Bleep Test’ for Espacio Tea Candelaria. The basic principles of the performance (using graphite powder and sliding on the paper) were repeated, but due to the different characteristics of the new exhibition venue, it led to a totally different result.

On this occasion the artist used one of the beams on the ceiling to hang a harness and swing at floor level, while tracing this action by spreading graphite powder on the paper with her feet.
The title of this work refers to the baroque painting ‘The Happy Accidents of the Swing’ by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. M.Lohrum re-interprets the scene depicted in this painting, but she devoids it of all eroticism and masculine presence, and transforms the female figure from an object of desire into an active and creative individual. The graceful swinging of Fragonard’s painting disappears and it is replaced, thanks to the slippery graphite powder, by a clumsy and uncontrolled oscillation that however produces a delicate and elegant drawing.

The resulting drawing was exhibited in the exact location where it was created, accompanied by the video of its making and the harness used in the performance, which was also left hanging from the beam above the drawing.
