Kick the Bucket
photo: leonard wilhelmus
The man is dressed in a light blue suit, white shirt and blue shoes.
He takes one end of a white woolen thread from his mouth and attaches this to a bush growing between the rocks.
He walks backwards so that the thread unrolls but the tension is kept all the way.
He picks up 4 pink buckets and fills these up with seawater.
The buckets with water are placed near the bush.
4 actions follow:
- he puts his left hand and arm in bucket 1 and dries it
- he puts his head in bucket 2 and dries it
- he steps with his right foot in bucket 3
- with his left foot he kicks the content of bucket 4 over the rock
Performed in September 2011 at "Laru 11", an anual ouside art exhibition in Lauttasaari, Helsinki
