Performance

Time for feelings... (RAGE)

02/20/2010 7 pm

Gitte Weise Gallery, Berlin / Germany

During the performance, there were no photos taken.

Without paying any attention to the audience, I moved in the gallery rooms, sweeping the ground, slowly and thourough. Sometimes looking after the artworks or out of the window.
Then I put my overcoat on, changed my shoes (it was a really cold winter evening) and left the gallery. About five minutes later
I was back, I toke off the coat, changed the shoes. Neigther paying attention, nor having eye contact with the present people. I took a bottle of water and went in the other room. There I was watering the plant (which is part of "2 and 1/2 sculptures"), then the bronze and the wooden sculpture. After putting back the bottle, suddenly and abrupt, I approached to the guest who was next to me, looking in his eyes. The same with a women next to us. Changing again, looking in someones eyes and then, for everbody unexpected, I gave him a box on the ears. After saying two times "thanks", once to him, the performance was over. Duration: 30 minutes.

Thanks to Jefferson Arce who got the box on the ears and who didn't knew about. And also to Yingmei Duan, who gave a box on the ears to a person in the audience of her performance "Sleepwalker" (Braunschweig 2003).
