A unique ring crafted from glass fragments of a car window shattered during the video performance "Human Rights" by Morten Viskum—a work where reality itself became part of the art.
The story behind the work is as unexpected as it is powerful. While transporting his annual silicone self-portrait sculpture to Enter Art Fair in Copenhagen—this year depicting Benjamin Netanyahu under the title "Human Rights"—Viskum parked outside his home. As he gathered the last items before departure, he heard his car alarm. From the balcony, he witnessed police had smashed his car window in a case of mistaken identity, captured on video.
The performance has since been viewed by over 6.9 million people.
From the broken glass of this accidentally created work, Viskum has made this commemorative ring. The piece of shattered glass carries the moment where art, power, identity, and misunderstanding converge—where a busy Oslo morning transforms into an art historical moment.
