| The myth tells us that while standing on the moon,
only two human
phenomena are visible: The Great Wall of China and three Icelandic
girls that call themselves The Icelandic Love Corporation. Coming
down to planet Earth, another myth can be heard among earthlings
about this corporation
operating on an international basis, spreading their outlandish
ideas around the globe by performing colorful and burlesque happenings.
It all seems very innocent at first, hidden under the nominal disguise
of "art," but looking closer (and now the perspective
is from a microcosmic level and not from other planets) we detect
a serious questioning of... the Thing. And matters become complicated.
I'm not sure, but I think I might have smelled the stench of conspiracy
here.
