Zwei kreisrunde Fotografien Rücken an Rücken als Bodenskulptur. Im Hintergrund des einen Bildes die Statistik der Ausfuhr von Quecksilber von Almadén nach Potosí im 16. Jahrhundert, auf dem anderen Foto Füsse in einem blutrot kolorierten Wasserbad. Ein Textband entrollt sich, darauf ein handgeschriebener Limerick über das Osterritual der Fusswaschung von Sklaven, durchgeführt von einem Plantagenbesitzer, der später von den selben Sklaven erhängt wurde. Die enge Verquickung von Kirche und Kolonialismus im frühen Kapitalismus hat Creischer wiederholt recherchiert und bearbeitet, nicht zuletzt als Kuratorin der Ausstellung „Das Potosí Prinzip“ (2010/2011). Als Theoretikerin und Kunstkritikerin gilt Alice Creischer seit den Neunzigerjahren als eine einflussreiche Position für den linken politischen Diskurs in der deutschen Kunstszene. Lange zählte sie zum festen Autorinnenstamm von „Texte zur Kunst“ und „springerin“. Als Kuratorin wirkte sie an bedeutenden Ausstellungen zur Kritik von Neoliberalismus und Kolonialismus mit. Institutionelle Einzelausstellungen zeigten Creischer als Konzeptkünstlerin, Malerin und Bildhauerin. 2007 war sie auf der documenta 12.
