Pure Art is an interactive performance action, which combines recycling and abstract art.

The voluntary participant gets a piece of xylitol chewing gum to chew. Then this chewed gum is with careful hygiene turned into a business card sized abstract, white on white art piece, which is under a flat, transparent cover.
At the end the participant gets this small work of art to himself/herself.

Duration of this performance has been from 3 hours to several days.
