I first cut a small hole in my black shirt, then a second slightly bigger one, a third, fourth and fifth, all the time bigger holes.
I taped the pieces under the paintings of Anna Wilhelmus*.
I took a marker to paint my exposed skin dark.
I opened my shirt and glued plasters on the marked spots.
I closed my shirt and taped the open pieces off with black tape.
* Anna had made a series of five paintings, beginning with a photo glued on the canvas and painting an extended landscape around it. She then took a photo of the first painting, glued it on a new canvas and painted another extension. Then a photo of the second etc. till the fifth painting based on a photo of the fourth.
