Forward!
At the OPEN art festival I did the performance Forward :
About 20 red bricks were placed in a structure resembling the “Birds Nest” Olympic Stadium in Beijing. I took two bricks and rubbed them together, thereby smoothening their surfaces before putting them on top of each other. Another pair of bricks followed. A tower appeared. I asked the audience to clap their hands rhythmically and bent forward till my forehead touched the bricks. I took another pair of bricks to put them on top of my head. The tower collapsed. I walked out. Performed in August 2009, Beijing, China |
