A DREAM OF LINNAEUS’ DAUGHTER

Video, performance 
2018
The video A Dream of Linnaeus’ Daughter (2018) was shot in Uppsala, Sweden, in the gardens of Carl Linnaeus, the famous 18th-century botanist and taxonomist. Kozyra, in the role of Linnaeus’ botanist daughter Elisabeth Christina von Linné, conducts an animal choir singing Beethoven’s iconic Ode to Joy. As they stand on wooden pallets symbolizing Noah’s Ark, the moos and squeals of her dog, donkey, cow, horse, goat and monkey choir fill the garden with what now is the anthem of European Union.
