This “Living” pretends to make individuals think about the economical factor inside a couple´s
relationship and how this influences a woman’s role.
100 hand-made notes were handed out in the streets of Madrid, very
similar to the ones that announce “a painter is offered” and get stuck
up at streetlights, poles and bus stops. Here a very particular offer
was launched: “Young girl with smart appearance is offered for all that
is expected from a woman inside a relationship: I will follow the
traditional roles and even more, I will put up with unpleasant
situations to maintain an economical status.” An e-mail address
is given so that every person can send any answer or proposal.
The project quickly generated controversy with national and
international repercussions, and in a few days it appeared published in
newspapers, on TV programmes, radio stations and internet and a lot of
discussions were opened up because of that.
A work for gathering together all of the more than 1,000 comments was
made and summarized in a document.
