The artist has covered the exhibition space a plastic bags and flooded the floors with [concrete and clay balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad). “During her performance Schenker picked up sponges soaked with red, orange and yellow ink, transporting them through the halls of the museum, she left multiple traces on the soft and moving surrounding” explains iGNANT. The [use of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) as a part of one’s performance is clever and engaging. The artist is clearly very devoted to her work and enjoys taking part at each step of the process. Though it looks like a pseudo-murder scene by the end, the admirably holistic performance set-up leaves dramatic traces of the powerful and emotive experience the audience witnesses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Performance Art Installations:** Opportunity for artists to incorporate unique materials and experiences to create immersive installations that engage audiences. - **Expressive Use of Color:** Chance for designers to push boundaries and use color in unexpected ways, creating bold and impactful visuals. - **Multi-sensory Art Experiences:** Potential to create art installations that engage all of the senses, immersing audiences in a fully-realized environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to push boundaries and create innovative installations that showcase their skills and creativity. - **Experiential Marketing:** Chance for marketers to create interactive installations to promote products or services, providing unique and memorable experiences for customers. - **Event Production:** Potential to create immersive, multi-sensory art installations for events that engage audiences and leave a lasting impression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Staged Room Design Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-of-colour.md) - [Biomaterial Color-Changing Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensibiom-2.md) - [Sizable Chair Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-installation.md)
