Still
In the middle of a cultural center the artist puts a table and chair and sits down. He opens a suitcase with house shoes, a plate, serviette, fork, knife, bread, butter, marmalade, cup, thermos, tea bag. He starts to prepare and eat the bread and drink the tea. Halfway he freezes his movement and stays still. Movement and noise around him continues. After ca. 10 minutes he resumes his movement, finishes the eating and drinking, packs everything in the suitcase and goes off.

I sent the video of this performance to the open competition of the NGBK - Neue Gesellschaft der Bildende Künstler - in Berlin and it was awarded with a prize and an invitation to present my work live at the U2 Alexander Platz, underground and railway station.
I presented four variations on the still theme: one like described above, one shaving myself, one playing cards and one cleaning the floor.
