Petroleum Jelly by Olive Hardy X Lydia Walker

Petroleum Jelly is a durational performance which takes place in a shop window, on this occasion at Window135 in South East London. The performers, Olive Hardy and Lydia Walker, move between one another using various tools and their hands to press, carry, clean and smudge petroleum jelly on the glass. Their image in turn is continuously revealed and concealed whilst being framed by natural light. The performance was devised through a collaboration between Hardy and Walker, with thanks to Window135 for hosting the performance, and Joseph Quimby for providing the soundtrack of the film, a shortened edit highlighting the two-hour performance.
