Nobel Prize Lecture in Physiology or Medicine 2024 is a theatrical performance centered on the debut of the artist’s Nobel Prize laureate speech for their work in proving the fringe evolutionary theory of Charlotte Bach—a mercurial personality, radical thinker, and challenging political contradiction.

The speech is preceded by an interactive reception for the audience, where guests are served imitations of champagne and canapés (dyed sparkling water and rye bread) as the artist makes a spectacular late arrival.

The performance lecture, merging the artist’s life and Bach’s and lasting around 40 minutes, covers Bach’s theory, the paradox of how genius is embodied, and ruminates on the role of delusion, desire, and the impact of alternative epistemologies in artist/theoretical research.
